I want to put the detachable backrest on my 2004 Fatboy. I have the turn signal relocation kit but do not know if I am going to like the look of it. Does anybody have some pictures of it on their bike so i can get a look at it?

 

I've recently put that entire kit on my '99 Fat Boy. I don't have any pictures. I will take one or two and post 'em back in here by the afternoon. The look is not exactly the reason for which I put it, it was entirely functional... I wanted to provide my girlfriend safety and confort. That is exactly why I went deatachable.

Regards.

 

I put the kit on my 2006 Fatboy. I have no photos, but it really doesn't look that bad. If I was choosing between having a rigid mount sissy bar and suffering the look of the turn signal relocation kit, the relocation kit was definitely the better choice in my opinion. I only use my sissy bar every once in a while.

 

Here's the detachable hardware and the relocation kit installed. Mind you, you have to pull the fender for a clean install..and getting the wires through the threaded posts do as they say and lube theS^ outta them. HappyI don't have to do that again. Rage ON

 

I did it also, not difficult but a PITA. I kinda like the look.

 

My '03 FatBoy came with the detachable backrest, luggage rack, and it also has the side plates for the detachable saddle bags.

I don't think it looks that bad, and it makes changing things over a few second procedure.

 

Loader and Ol'fender,

Very nice Fat Boys you have there.

Regards.

ps: I still don't have my pics available, sorry...

 

Nice looking bikes......On my 06 the fender did not have to come off, just reached up between the fender tip and the tire to access the wire to cut it. When you reassemble be careful not to overtighten it, I snapped the freakin thing in half (I think it was the middle part) by overtightening it, but lucky for me andMUCH TO MY SUPRISEthe dealer hadJUST that middle part and I think it was only about 6-7 bucks not a big deal but just trying to save you a trip. Other than that it was still a pain in the a$$, but IMHO they really don't look that bad. I'll try to post pics if you cannot see it in my sig.

Hmm I like the way the relocated turn signals look. Nice rides.
