QR Backrest/Relocate

Does anyone know if you have to relocate the rear directionals when utilizing a quick release backrest on a Fatboy?
Also, can you use a layedback license plate frame with a luggage rack on a quick release backrest?
Thanks,

I installed mine without relocating the lights, if you do a search it should show you what you need to do. It works very well. I'll see if I have a pic of it

So it looks like the answer is no. No need to relocate anything.

depends on the year. I can tell you for a fact that the 99 evo fatboy does require it and you need the relocate kit, even tho the dealer parts book says otherwise. the book/dealer said you only had to move them to the back most holes. wrong! I had to redo mine cause the lock would just hit by a 1/4" on the turn signal. so another trip to the dealer to get the relocate kit. the worst part is that I had to remove the base of the turn signal(my fav. looking part of the bike, the lins reminded me of 50' era cars)
