ghoticov - that's the stock sissy. It looks wicked without the stock seat attached haha! Mine is the stock sissy also with a solo seat. It bolts to the fender strut.
As for your front sigs, you just need $40-$50 relocation brackets that mount to your fork tubes or lower triple pinch bolt (depending if HD brackets or not). Where your wires are stock and run outside it is a sinch to do. Just make sure you re-route your wires out of the way of binding or getting pinched.
Congrats again on your "pulling the trigger"

I am trying to find a quick disconnect small sissy bar that I can just pop on when I want to go 2 up but I am having no luck. I found a few on Jp Cycles site but I am not sure it is what I am looking for because their is no pic of it on a bike (and it wasn't a quick disconnect) I just want a small one...seems hard to find.
On the turn sits, I did notice yesterday that the wire where on the outside of the tubes so I did think "this will be easy". My issue is I don't really like the HD ones because they stick so far out. Anyone have any luck with shorter ones?

What did you use or do to relocate your front sigs to the forks? Looks great!

Congrats on the new ride, I 'may' be considered prejudiced because I have one too.
But IMHO it's one of, if not the best looking bikes HD has ever made.
As for the turn signals you can easily go one of two ways.
HD makes a relocation kit, but its not in my opinion as nice as a set of fork tube clamps you can get off e-bay for a lot less.
Here's a pic I took of mine with the HD kit on the left side (right in pic) and the tube clamp mount I got off e-bay for under $25 on the right side (left in pic).
In the pic its real easy to see how far out the HD mounts pushes the lights and if you get close to them its east to see how they don't 'fit' around the side/end of the tree as snugly as I like.
I'm sorry I can't remember if I had to take the connector apart to do the relocating, I think you do, but if you do here's a pic of the connector to help you get the wires back in the right place.
And if you don't like the way the wires look, check out the DIY thread at the top of the page.
I put a write up in there showing how to cover them up with some mesh to make them look a little nicer.
Stock turn signal wire on the left and my mesh covered one on the right.
Too bad you didn't get the stock seat with it, your wife would have LOVED it, mine does.
So I'm stuck with it, but its OK, I like how it feels too.
Good luck and ride safe.
