Default Best signal relocation for fatboy...

I have some heritage bags I am going to put on my bike, but I have to relocate my signals to the taillight to get the bags on supposedly. Any ideas of how to do this. I believe that the Heritage rear fender has a small indentation for the taillight/turn signal bar. What is the simplest way for me to relocate my signals to the taillight?

Look at the Bubbas Brakes Laydown License Plate with T/S . One of the guys I ride with has this, its a very clean look, you can use your stock T/S from the Fatty, wiring all works with no splicing. www.bubbasbrakes.com or I saw some LEDtail light relpacments from Kuraykyn and other companies that incorporate the T/S into the tail light.

There is a thread further down from this for relocating license plate with a signal bar on a fatty that is real clean. Also a lic relocate that would look really good on your bike showing alot of fender.

i like the look of your bike, but do those rear blinkers even serve a purpose or is it just the picture. they look tiny! can people tell when youa re going to change lanes, or do you not use them? I am not bashing your bike at all, just curious about how functional they are.

My signals are actually quite large and visible. I always queston the fact whether or not cars even know where to look to see the signals on a bike...

visibility is my biggest concern. cars do not respect motorcycles the way it is, but i don't want to do anything on the bike that makes it harder for them to see me. Are they LED? How much of a difference do the LED lights make? I was eyeing up the tri bar taillight. I like that it is bigger and seems to be brighter
