Default Quick Release sissy bar
I have a 95 Fatboy. I am thinking about getting a quick release sissy bar for it. I have found docking hardware that is built for 84-99 flstf. My question is will I have to do any kind of turn signal relocation for this to all fit together or will it go nice and easy?

Prolly have to do the relocation thing, or a few guys have ground off enough of the side plate to clear the turn signal stalk.

Just ordered a quick detach backrest for my slim and goin this route. Hate the look of the tail light relocation.

If you're ordering the sissy bar from Harley, there should be a disclaimer if turn signal relocation is required. Check the Harley catalog.

If using one from the motor company They should tell what else you need. I added one on my FXST and they showed me everything I needed.
