I like that idea, why did HD think they needed to space them out another 1/2"?

 

Thanks N3WWL, that clarifies it a bit. I agree that relocation kit is fugly I will be shaving my side plates as well.

 

I don't know why they changed to the phucked up one they have now. I had one on my 84 that just extended the rear of the strut straight back a few inches. It just bolted on over the strut and when installed it looked totally stock. Just made the strut look a few inches longer. Totally unnoticeable to the causal observer.

 

Pierre,

Do you have the part number for that kit? That looks different than any I have seen around. I like how it moves it more rearward.

 

MNFatboy, the part number for the Black relocation kit is:73369-10 they make 2 chrome versions one for '07 and later:69929-07 and one for '03-04-05-06 :69857-07...

 

I went with this kit/bracket. The video makes it look easy but I thought it was a little tricky to install.

I have the original Harley Davidson relocation kit installed on my Lo. Looks ok.
I also have the Softail detachable saddlebags and they really match the looks of the bike.

 

I wanted to update this thread, as I just installed the detachable plates, and went the way of the grinder....

It all fit in there, and here are my pics.





Thanks for the help on this guys!!

 

maybe not....
