I'm getting ready to trade in my eGlide for a street bob... time for a change, love the pure practicality of the eGlide (I can go grocery shopping), but it's time for something with a bit more of an edge.

So I'm going for the street bob.. with about +3K in added parts on it (Roland Sands vintage apes.. etc)

So here is my question.

I want to put a sissy bar on it - and have spec'ed the HD detachable side plates (the only ones that come in black).

Do I need to relocate the rear turn signals?

Thanks!

 

yes you will, when my dad picked up mine at the hd dealership, they sold him the relocation kit and its like 30 bucks. to bad i didnt need it since i dont run turn signals. but if you choose not to get the relocation kit then you will be missing the bolt for the back mounts. let me know if you have any specific questions or problems. i just installed mine this past weekend. very convenient. make sure u get the rack for the sissy bar too. works well with the sissy bar
bags.

 

You don't need to relocate them as such, just buy the kit that replaces the bars that attach the signals to the fender strut. They will still be in the same location. You will also need the docking hardware. Part # should be 53968-06C for the "relocation kit", and 53961-06 for the docking hardware.

 

yeah he said what i was trying to say

 

Here is what the relocation kit does to your rear turn sigs..........if you don't plan on using the detached saddle bags that is.

 

Your turn signals will be in the same location, just moved out the width of the docking kit.

I need to put rigid mounts on mine to run my new bags...PM for a good deal on the detachables AND docking kit if you don't want to buy new.

Both of these bikes have them...doesn't look bad at all.


PS
Also need to remove the Kury side mount if anyone interested.

 

I use the quick detach docking hardware and then added the turn signal relo kit when I added bags.

 

wow, aint seen that relocation kit before, is that HD?... dont know what i think about it(but as long as your happy with it thats all that matters). i went with the laydown plate with T.S. relocation, but with the newer style fender that may not be an option.

Thanks for all the replies and info! I'm having the dealer do all this stuff - it's a new bike, so I'm having them add most of it.
