Not sure where mine came from but it's the same type of mount only factory.

The docking mechanism for the detachable sticks out unfortunately, which I imagine would be about the same size as my turn signals.

I might need some type of bracket like these to keep the turn signals.

As you can see from the picture. My turn signals almost sit flush with the swingarm. The docking mechanism, I imagine sits out further which would block the signals.

Check out the custom sissy bars from Edward Richie. He can probably make you a solid one that will accommodate your setup.

I looked at my detachable again, pretty sure those will work just fine. I would just wait till you got the sissy bar and check.

Sissy with quick release...you can just use a spacer to extend your current TS out a little.


Also used the moons RBT but that is not compatible with your set up. Also used a license plate TS relo kit that is lay down style...the TS attaches to the sides of the license plate frame....and yes, I believe they come in black.



or you can go with DK RBT that installs on the real fender
