Default Relocating rear turn signals for saddlebags

Anybody who has relocated their rear turn signals because of saddle bags have any pics? I'm trying to figure out which way to go. I bought Willie & Max throwovers and was hoping to get away without using brackets. Fine on the left side but not the right side. So, I bought the detachable brackets but now I have to move the turn signals.

Here is a side view of my Dyna with the HD relocation kit installed. It moves the signals off the fender struts on to the mount with the rear license bracket. It is a little wide for my tastes, but until I find something else, it'll do.

Thanks for the pic. I havn't seen anything in the '06 H-D catalog but I think the '05 catalog had a few. Do you or can you get me a rear view shot?

Thanks

Glad to. Here are a couple of additional views, top, side, rear of the relocation bracket. I also changed out the amber lenses with red that came with the brake light coversion kit.

How long did it take to change?

Complicated or pretty straight-forward?

Thanks,

Sammi

It looks like you guys pretty much did the same thing. Thanks for the pics.

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.
