Default Relocated swingarm blinkers

before...




after...






I think they came out pretty nice. I had the harley lay down plate relo kit for a bit but really like the way this slimmed down the backend.

Here is a pic with the bags installed. I'm sure I lost a little visibility but did gain the extra lighting now that they are running lights as well. I will probably add a brake module down the line as well.

Here is a close up of the install. They are "L" brackets connected to the belt tension adjustment bolts. I just ran the wires along the swing arm and up the frame to under the seat.

Even though it does indeed clean up the back *** of your scooter, I would be somewhat a little wary of some little ole lady from Pasadena or Albuquerque running up my ***! JMO

The bolts they are attached to are used for getting the belt tension correct but the actual wheel is held in place with the axle nuts. Once the axle nuts are tight the axel adjuster nuts really don't do anything. I did torque them back down to specs which is 96-120 in-lbs.
