I"m installing the HD rear turn signal relocation kit to make room for bags and a solo rack on my FXD.&nbsp\\; Anyone know any tricks or have any advice on the install.

 

I put mine up on the jack took the shocks loose to drop the rear wheel. Makes it easier to reach up under the fender.

 

What he said.

 

I just reached under the fender on my FXD.&nbsp\\; there was plenty of room, but i'm not as low as most...

 

I had no jack at the time and there was plenty of room but since then I lowered the rear and now I cant get my hands up there.

Before you start, go buy some new turn signal plug-ins.&nbsp\\; Their $2.17 for two.&nbsp\\; You got to cut them off anyways....&nbsp\\; I didn't see the point of reusing such a cheap part.

 

&nbsp\\;
Do not over-tighten them, they will break easily.....

 

Get some heat-shrink insulation tube (Home Depot). To get the turn signal wires into the bar, I had to strip the outermost insulation\\; I then slipped the heat shrink tubing over the threaded wires to replace the layer or protection and neaten things up.

 

Good advice.&nbsp\\; Thanks

 

When the directions say "Cut existing wire plug in's as short as possible" DON'T
Leave enuff that you can solder the wire back together at the module.
If you don't get them squeezed perfectly, they will not go in the connector.
My 2 hr. job&nbsp\\; ended&nbsp\\; up being&nbsp\\; 4&nbsp\\; plus.

Good luck
