Putting Quick Deatch side plates and back rest on a 05 Fatboy
So I want to be able to switch seats and use a 2 up seat with a back rest and put a back rack on the Fatboy. HD says the rear turn signals need to be relocated with a kit but i cant find a picture of where they get relocated to. I do not want to locate them on the license plate, i just dont like the way it looks. Are there any options? Does anyone have any pictures of options for quick detach and where the turn sigals end up? Help! Thanks Ted
The HD relocation kit doesent really relocate them. What it does do is change out the wide stalks that hold the signals to a 1/4" piece of tubing which gives the quick detach side plates enough room to work properly. My wife wanted a sissy bar and I didnt like the look of the "relocation" kit from HD. So what I did was buy the Kuryakyn Panacea tail light that has turn signals built in to it and I just removed the rear OEM signals all together.
It was a lot more expensive than the relocation kits but I think it looks a lot cleaner.

You can also modify the side plates to fit without moving the T/S. I have seen a couple threads here to do it withthe HD detachables.
I have a set of Bubbas Brake detachable sideplates and hardware that I modified to work on my 05 Fatty with out moving the T/S.
They are in perfect condition and work with any HD sissy Bar, if your interested they are for sale. PM me and I can send pictures.

You just cut away a littlesection of the rear tabs on the side plates.
I will try to get pictures later of the Bubbas plates that I made work on my bike with out moving the T/S.
There is a thread here that shows it done on the HD Side plates.
