Need 2012 FXDB signal relo help
I know HD sells a front turning signal relocation kit, and from what I hear it comes with detailed instructions- however I dislike how far out the lights would stick out. Does anyone know of any other complete kit with detailed instructions which doesn't stick out as much I can purchase? Did I mentioned I need detailed instructions? LOL
THANKS GUYS!

If you decide on something other than HD, you should still download the HD relocation instructions from the HD website - it will help you no matter what aftermarket signals you find. The instructions will have the individual part #s that you may have to purchase to install whatever you find.

I'm getting ready to finish mine off and those connectors (if you have them) in the frame make it a lot easier.

You could hard wire them if that makes you more comfortable.

The only difficult part for me was installing those little electrical pin connectors onto the signal wires, to do it right you need a special electrical crimper but I managed by carefully using needle nose pliers - no problems since installing about a year and a half ago...

I installed the plate relocate kit while back and it came with the perfect colored wires which I didn't use for that application and so I just took them to the dealer and gave the mechanic $20 to crimp on the correct wire end connector things.
Took them home, installed zip-zang

I'd like to have one of those crimpers but here's what I did:
I installed the plate relocate kit while back and it came with the perfect colored wires which I didn't use for that application and so I just took them to the dealer and gave the mechanic $20 to crimp on the correct wire end connector things.
Took them home, installed zip-zang

Good move
The closest HD dealer to me is about 50 minutes, so sometimes I make due.

I'll be honest, sounds and reads complicated as all hell. I'm gonna call a local motorcycle shop and see of they are up for it. I've read dealer would charge an hour worth of work $80 or so...
I had a good experience with a local mechanic when trying to install passenger pegs in the '12 SB- manual calls for removal of belt and wheel. Paid the guy $15 to get in there and take hidden bolts off without dissembling half the darn bike.
