Title: What is involved in the signal relocation kit for sissybar?
Post by: leeinmemphis on September 04, 2010, 07:34:49 PM: Hey everyone,

I have a quick detachable sissybar coming for my '09 springer and it said that I had to have a rear signal relocation kit. Can someone explain what exactly I am going to have to do? Cut/splice wires or what? Any pics would be appreciated. Thanks.

The fun you will have is getting the wire through the hole I used every soap and had no luck. On both bike bikes I ended up stripping the jacket off and shrink wrapped the ends to protect the wires. Also do not over torque the nuts if you are off a little bit then loosen nut and reposition and tighten or you will have an extra like I do. All in all they are not bad to put on other than the wire.

From the sounds of it I may look at this first before I do the relocation kit. Thanks.

Post by: leeinmemphis on September 11, 2010, 05:24:15 PM: Well I ended up putting on the kit today. It took probably an hour or so to install and it was fairly straight forward. The turn signal relocation kit was more difficult than the dock hardware but overall it wasn't too bad.

Post by: dite on September 12, 2010, 02:06:45 PM: don't relocate the turn signals. you can modify the detachable side plates so it is not required. easy to do and saves money and looks better.
you just remove the hump that serves no purpose other than to make you buy another part.
