Just mounted up a quick detachable windshield to my Softail Custom. The installation kit came with a turn signal relocation kit that I didn't use. I really don't see the need to relocate my turn signals, but I was wondering if it really is necessary for some reason and I'm missing it. Also, if it's not needed, can I take it back to the dealer for store credit or something? I looked the part number up and it's a 45 dollar item? Any input would be appreciated.

 

I wanted my signals on the forks, but if you dont you probably dont have to move them, dealer wont return them if they came in the kit, but probably some one on here would be interested.

PS Lets see some pics of your windsheid mount, mine wouldnt with out moving the signals.

 

I would take them back and ask if I could exchange them. As long as I have a receipt they always let me exchange stuff at my stealer.

 

Here's a pic from my cellphone. It's the windshield that doesn't leave any hardware on the bike when you remove it. 4 clamps hold it on the fork tubes.



And here's the complete turn signal relocation kit (un-opened) that came inside the windshield box.

 

I had the same windshield installed on my '07 when I bought it. The dealer relocated
the signals with the supplied kit. My understanding is that it keeps the signals from
reflecting off the windshield at night. -stef

 

Oh... I didn't think of that one. I'll check it out tonight and see how bad it is. I do really want to leave the signals on the bars as every other bike I've owned has had them mounted on the forks. I like it being different.

 

didnt need any relocation kit for the detachable one, just moved the turn signals lower myself..took 5 min.

I'm thinking of lowering the signals on my 2000 FXST.Can you tell what find of brackets they are? Are they the ones with the stems which bolt to the fork bracket or the ones that attach to the forks (without stems)?

 

be happy you got em. i was shorted mine.and had to buy the freeking things when i wanted to move em.

 

Looks like they might reflect back off the windshield at you at night. Hard to tell.
