Second opinion needed on dealership advice.
I am wanting to get a quick release sissy bar from Harley. Bar looks like this http://www.ebay.com/bhp/harley-sissy-bar-quick
They told me I have to relocate the rear turn signals, is that true?
Bike is a 2012 Super Glide Custom
If the turn signals do need to be relocated, does anyone have any good pictures of a Super Glide with that had the signals relocated?

I have an 07 super glide that the previous owner installed a quick release backrest on and the turn signals were still in the stock location. I ended up putting a relocation kit on it anyways so I could put bigger saddlebags on it. I got this kit http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...-11-6873302--1 . I found it for cheaper on ebay

When I installed the quick detach backrest, the relocation kit I used didn't actually move the lights to a different location, rather just deleted the stalks. It basically turns the signals into the docking hardware.
I think this is the one I used:

Mine already had an extra hole in the fender under the stock license plate bracket. It had a plastic plug in it that I took out and fed the wires through when I installed the new license plate bracket that came with the relocation kit.
I have the HD detatchable in mine. Still had your email from when I sent you som pics of my forwards so I sent you a pic of my turn sigs.

Another unexpected benefit of installing this kit was realized when I had to lay it down on a wet road a few weeks back. The bike slid along the road on the left side then flipped over on the right side before stopping...the lights were destroyed but the other typical road damage was minimized with the lights and engine guard taking the brunt of the damage. I replaced the light housings and lenses and I was back in business...
