Well, I actually did the relocation long ago when I made the leather cover. I don't think it would work with a stock/brawler style seat that sits right down on the frame, but I don't know. Here's a photo of mine relocated. I cut the back two tabs off so it had more clearance from the back fender.... Hope this helps..

We are also in the process of making a new leather battery cover that will not have the back flap. It'll just meet the fender and leave it all exposed...







Bloody cool...do you think a rear light off that sort will fit on a Heartland rear fender ? as i just know i will get pulled by the Rozzers for a side mount plate in the UK

I noticed your rear tail light is different than the ones I have been looking at. the ones I have been looking at seem to have a small space for the license plate. I like yours better, where did you get it?

I'm sure it's the same as mine. Out of the Drag Specialties Catalog right? I carefully cut off the small license plate mount. I had to get it stripped down to bare metal and sanded before powder coat. It's a super cheap *** light, so the chrome wouldn't hold up to powder. After it's coated, it looks real nice. I also had the ring around the tail light chromed. We also made a cover for the area that was left exposed by removing the plate mount. Basically an angled piece of stainless powder coated black that bolts on when the light is mounted. Can't even tell the plate was removed when it's all together.. I'll take some detail pics when she's all done.

P.S. Your bike is gonna look amazing when you have this rear end on. You already have the rest of the thing RSD'd out.. Let me know what ever info your need.. It's been a process.. lol! You should look into getting a spring seat conversion, so you can run that set up bobbered, and still have the other for 2 up. It'd only add a few more minutes to change everything out.. You can just use velcro for your ECU, and velcro tie it like mine when it's bobbered.. Just an idea..

Yeah it was the drag one I saw...they do have a black version but being that you have to sand the plate part off no point in getting that one....I powder coated allot of parts on my bike so no big deal I will send it out

the problem is that what is left to do on my bike is tank seat and rear fender, and they cant be done one at a time because the paint scheme I plan on doing is kinda a one off, so it all has to be done at the same time.

when you do the math tins and paint it is a pretty big nut to do at once.
so I will wait to get everything dry fit it all then send it out to paint....
