Default turn signal relocation/detachable sissy bar

So I just got all my parts in for my detachable sissy bar and saddle bag mounts. The only problem is, the HD direction say refer to your saddlebag instalation directions to relocate the rear indicators. Well I bought my bike used and it came with the saddle bags but no directions. Anone know where to find a good set of directions to relocate the turn signals for the detachable mounts? Thanks

I don't have any pictures of the bags, but they are saddleman bags, leather, but really stiff and hold there shape. I bought the HD detachable mounting brackets. Do I need to remove the rear tire to get at the turn signals? or is there enough room to sli a wrench up there? anybody no what size bolt it is? I have an '01 custom

I've got an 07 1200 Low and I did not have to remove rear wheel to relocate my turn sigs. It was tight but you should be able to do it.

I put on the detachable kit and relocated the turn signals on a 1200L. I did not have to take off the back wheel but I used a bike lift which got the rear wheel off the ground and I also took off the saddlebags to do the work. Worst case, if the wheel does get in the way, put the bike on a lift and unbolt the shocks, the wheel will drop down without having to take it off.
