Default Passing lamps and turn signal relocate on 17 rks?

Trying to confirm if I can add passing lamps and turn signal relocate to my 17 Road king special with a quick release windshield. Can anyone confirm?

I see some ebay specials out there for brackets that look similar to whats in the Parts catalog but the Harley site one doesnt come up as a fit for the 17 rks.

If it can be done can you confirm what is needed?

Thank you

Yes, of course, it can be done, passing lamps and turn signals installed and relocated w/windshield on '18 RKS...Attached are photos I took the other day with new Truck...

Looks good!
What did you use here? Is it harley branded or aftermarket? Did you get or use a switch and is it plug and play?

I found this bracket and thought about going with eagle lights

But only shows up to 16.

The kit is for a SG, SGS. will not fit RKS
This is the kit https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...11-67800367--1

Go to boardtracker.com you can get it cheaper from them.

Install was plug and play, had mechanic do it and after watching him kicked myself in the butt, cause i could have saved 80 bucks doing it myself.

Doesn't the RKS already has passing lamps? i dont think there is a TS relocation kit.

Ok before I get started, you have two options to go about this add on/relocation kit and there are pros and cons with these options as follows:

Option1 - Ebay after market part, ordered from this seller at:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-5-LED-Aux...19.m1438.l2649
This kit comes complete with signal and passing lamps.

This kit is the least expensive route, fairly good quality, fit & finish are excellent for the price. However, let me caution you that these kit did not come with instructions and I had to do a lot or research to determine how to interface and connect the passing lamps and running/turn signals to the head lamp nacelle housing. It also did not come with toggle switches and I had to procure from local home depot electrical section. The main power source for the load is from the P&A accessories 20 amp power supply which I controlled from the toggle switch. I also recommend the'17 or '18 factory manual as reference.

Additional information can be found at CVOHarley:
https://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index....799#msg1394799

Option2: Get all genuine Harley-D parts. I suppose it will have all parts and hardware however, the down side is the overall costs. The passing lamp housing alone is about $500+ coupled with Daymaker lamps at another $500+

Anyone got an idea of how to wire these
Amazon Amazon
? I am looking at this passing lamp kit but trying to figure out wiring before I pull the trigger. There is no Nacelle switch on the rks and the kit has bare ended wires only. Can I get connectors and plug them in somehow or how would I wire them? There are several videos and people that have done this but cant find anything on the wiring.

I have the passing lamps/indicators kit that I kept, off an 2014 SG

i want to relocate the indicators on my new 18 RKS and make this kit work. How do I do the wiring? I got nacelle switches, (I'm doing Fogs as well) And I'm also currently running the vented Windsplitter.. so I have to account for that. I can't figure out what to do with the wiring to the indicators, unless it's self contained with whatever I use for the passing lamps (like it is in the SG) Any advice , harnesses I need?

What was the part number for just the relocation of your turn signals to the forks? I have a reckless fairing on mine and need to move the signals down below!!!
