Hey new here and just bought a 2013 Super Glide Custom. I bought some saddlebags and need to relocate my turn signals. Not to thrilled with the options so thought maybe I could mount them to the bags. Anyone done this? Suggestion for turn signals and pic of yours would be great.
I have the HD bag lights, they work as run/turn/brake. To get the bags off, its just one extra step to disconnect the connector for the lights. Its no hassle at all, literally 1 extra second. Not sure if you can run these with no other rear lights but I dont see why not. Maybe someone else will know if its feasible. No drilling into the bag is required, the light is mounted with 3M double sided tape and the wire runs along the backside of the bag. Theres a sticky keeper that holds the wire to the bag so its not flapping next to the tire.

Yep. These are what I was thinking about for OP.
Custom Dynamics also has a great set of saddlebag lights. Cheaper than the HD ones and better IMO.
Don't put them on the bags because it's going to be a hassle when you take off the bags.
Sorry man you are wrong !!!!!
Get the bag lights and use them as turn signals, I have them on my bike.... there's a connector right by the bags it takes 1 second to disconnect the lights and take the bags off....
Personally I would chose the HD ones..the are long/wide and would fit right underneath the lip of your lid.....i did mine it took 15 minutes, the only thing is that the 3M double sided tape will hold on the "Leather" of your bag....

I like those hd ones. Could you measure the length for me?
I had the HD ones in my Ultra, far from a hassle, guess everyone's hassle level is different. Gonna go with Ciros ones this time. Slimmer cleaner look, plus sequential.
