Still waiting for brown truck to arrive....HD saddlebags and turn-signal relocate kit. Any advice or issues this project? I have heard the wiring is a challenge....

take your time and follow the direction you will have no problem. i unbolted my rear shocks and had the bike on a jack to gain more acess.henry

 

Ihave an unheated garage so when I got them for christmas I had the dealer mount them but the instruction sheets were fairly simple.

 

I got a 99 Street Glide, Bought my relocatoin clamps and stuff off "dennis Kirk"...I forget the brand.

Straight forward work...Not hard...just take your time.Few beers later you'll be done.

 

it's no fun. i would of gone another angle if i thought it out first. i would of drilled my fender and mounted, it looks better, it's cheaper and will hold up. so much for hindsite.

dont cut the wires!!!! use a safety pin and pop out the individual wires. Makes things so much easier..just takes a bit to get the right spot for the wire to release from the connector. After it is ready to go back together, just plug them back in. Any newer manul shold have this technique.

 

Get some shrink wrap from Home Depot for the wires behind the license tag.

 

shrink wrap for wires? is there going to be exposed wires somewhere?

Thanks Greg fxdb

 

Took me 35-40 minutes to do mine. And yes to the shrink wrap. Where the wires come out of the relo bar they will be exposed for a short distance before they run back through the fender.

+1 on not cutting them either. Pop the pins from the connector to re-route.

 

Timely post Greg, my dealer had them in stock so I will be doing the same project. Maybe
order my easy brackets next week.
