I used the HD layback one. It looks pretty good. Get some extra wire before you start, my existing wires were too short so I had to extend them to fit correctly. Use you jack to lift the bike up so you can fit your hands between the tire and fender to run the wire. A couple hours including clean up of tools.

You can beat having the windshield for a longer trip, keeps the bugs out of your teeth.

RE: Relocating rear turn signals for saddlebags
I relocated mine, and I didn't use HD parts.
I had previously installed a layback plate and a nice frame; the stock parts were just too darn ugly.
Then I made some simple alum brackets for the upper corners of the frame. I removed the pedestals from the stock lamps, and replaced them with a simple round spacer. The lights are bolted to the top corners of the license plate frame.
It took me about 2 hours to make the brackets, including polishing and powdercoating. I made them out of alum scraps I had lying around the garage. The laydown bracket and frame cost about $60'ish from J&P.

I went ahead a purchased the lay back tag bracket/lamp relocation kit. I knew the Maryland tag was a bit big for it so I will have to cut it down. Maryland reminds me of a child that doesn't get enough attention so its gotta be different that way it thinks its a leader but thats a whole nuther story. I'll post some pics when I get it done.
Thanks for the advise.

Show us some close ups so that we can see how you did it.
