When I asked the local dealer about buying a backrest/ sissy bar, they said I would need a turn signal relocation kit. Looking at the location of my turn signals, I can't imagine why. This is my first bike, so I am new to this. Am I missing something? I have included a pic so you can tell me what you think. It looks to me like there is no need to move anything to install a backrest/ sissy bar.

 

Yours have already been relocated. Should be good to go.

 

People at your dealer are moron's.

 

That's kinda the definition of "dealer," right? Anyways, thanks.

 

yeah you definitely dont need relo kit.

 

Awesome. Another question- will all Harley backrest/ sissy bars fit my bike, or are they model-specific? They look to be fairly interchangeable (hardware looks to be standard on most models).

 

Different sizes for some Bikes. 200mm rear tire bikes are wider and so on.

 

Right. I hadn't thought about tire width. Okay, so as long as I have the right width, I'm good to go?

 

The distance between the mounting bolts is different between some models too.

 

Harley parts book should list what fits what year and model.
