Did you have to relocate the rear signals? I didnt get the relo kit as they promised, so I'm waiting to install when I get it. Did you use the permanent or throwover method? Any tips or something you might have done different? Thanks

Install
I did not have to relocate my turn signals. I purchased the quick connect kit.
The installation kits do not come with any templates to mount the bags. If I
had to do it over I think I would have made a template to follow. Take your time and make sure that your bike is level. If you have a lift or table it will make it easier to work on I used my buddies car lift and that caused some minor problems. I drilled the first bag and I set the other bag along side to make the holes and they came out perfect. There is a video on youtube showing how to install them.
I'm going to post some pictures in a few minutes I hope.

I love the profile but DAYUM,, those things are like outriggers with those brackets. There must be a better way to mount them closer.
