Hello everyone this is my first thread, and I'm pretty new to the forum. Recently Purchased 2016 Street Bob, FXDB, did a lot of research about license plate and turn signal relocation and settled on the Easy Brackets from Great Biker Gear. I also intend to set up some brackets with "tactical saddlebags" I'll sort of "fab" myself made form some molle shoulder bags very soon so, this was a precursor to that happening. I thought I would throw this up with some pictures so those who may be searching and doing research as I did have a wee bit more insight - hopefully this is actually provides that.

So here is what came in the mail today;

License plate/turn signal relocation




Easy Brackets for saddlebags




I got to work asap, first step; remove seat and disconnect turn signals and license plate light wires














Nest step: Remove turn signals and stock license plate bracket. This was as simple as removing the single bolt holding each turn signal on the fender, and pulling the wires through the holes, no bd, didnt have to disconnect and wiring











Then I set up my license plate on the new bracket and attached the license plate light (there is a bracket specifically for this light on the bracket itself) and connected it via the supplied bolts









Comes with a cool teardrop washer to make it look seamless.




Now I had to actually take apart the electrical connectors because although you can pull them out and string them through the protectors on the rear fender and the holes of the fender itself, they would not fit through the holes on the bracket. Once I did this, I pushed the wires through the hole on the bracket and reattached the connectors, strung the wires through the indicator sleeves, through the protectors on the inside sides of the fender, reconnected to power and she was all done. No big deal. Turn signals connect the same way they disconnect, only on the bracket, and there are supplied bolts that are purposefully a little shorter.




































Oh and I almost forgot, I added a small amount of silicon sealant to keep water out of the license plate illumination light as there was a small gap between it and the bracket.






Heres a before and after:






I hope this helps someone out, and I hope I followed forum guidlines, thank you for checking it out. I will post another thread when I rig up them saddlebags.

First off, welcome to the forum. Second, nice Bob I remember when mine looked like that....kinda miss it. The Plate bracket looks good, I know a few people have been looking for something like that for a while.

 

Welcome to the forum and good write up! Thank you for sharing it.

Do the bolts for the turn signals go all the way through the stalk? Just wondering how those are held to the stalks.

Looking forward to seeing your bags!

 

Holy cow that side mount plate sticks WAY the eff out there. No bueno. Good call, regardless of the bags.

 

Looks good and good write up. My only suggestion would be to maybe paint around the back of the license plate light with some black paint.

 

Thanks for the welcome, and thanks!

 

Thanks a bunch! Yes, the bolts for the turn signals go through the stocks, the kit comes with slightly shorter ones as the originals are too long with the new bracket. The kit also includes a longer left side stalk to make up for the shorter one that originally incorporated the side license plate bracket.

 

My thoughts exactly, thank you much sir. I got the bags on today, hope to throw up a thread asap.

 

Thank you! Will definitely consider doing this, I thought it seemed just a little off, without a back cover or something on that light. Otherwise it kind of just lights up everywhere instead of just the license plate, besides that it would also be more aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for the suggestion. *thumbs up*

 

As the others have said, great write up and welcome! I found that although the wiring was long enough for the move it was just a bit too tight for my liking, I ended up extending the wires so that the connections comfortably went back under the seat. Did you have any problems?
