What year and what model...???

You could try to see if they have a pic of it in the HD Online OEM Service parts finder. The older the bike, the less complete the diagrams..

thanks, but what you have there is the relocation kit that moved the original turn signals rearwards to allow mounting the saddlebags. this eliminated the original mounting "stalk" and is totally different.

every where i look has this diagram that shows a bolt:, indicated as "2", (2698a Sold Individually (As Each) Unless Otherwise Noted, Hex Socket Cap Screw 2698A, Also Used On Belt Guards.5/16-24x5/8) this would not work.







i also found this: pn 56104-94A, looks like it would work, but i dont know the length



there are 2 holes on the fender wherethe stalk goes, one is for the wires, the other is for what i assume to be a bolt of some sort. the holes is sized for a 5/16 bolt. all the other holes in the fender ar 3/8".

the turn signal housing accepts 5/16 fine thread.

spmebody here knows exactly what i am looking for.

the thing is i have taken a few of these apart and i cant remember, i might need to get myself checked out.

I might be mistaken but it looks like it was already relocated. Moved back for bags. In that case the wires will run through the stalk and eliminate the mounting bolts, the stalk mounts and is hollow for the wires.

i can see how yours works. my "stalk", pn 68480-93A, is different, there are 2 holes that go all the way thru, so what you have there is different than mine. my bike is a 93. the pat number for the 99 is 68480-73, its different,
