rear turn signal relocation kit

[zoomone]

Hi all,
I am looking to purchase a new set of saddlebags... however, for most all bags it seems you have to relocate the rear turn signals. Do they make a kit for this? I have searched all over but can't seem to find any. Also, if someone actually have found a set of soft bags without having to relocate the turn signals, the info would be appreciated.
thanks

i got the bats, tail bag and mag tank bag for liek $130, check thru a local stealership, if they can't give u that deal, you could try calling brockton cycle (in MA) and see how much they want plus shipping. I went and picked mine up so there was no shipping costs...

I think Jeff (HuberJW) has a solution for your tail and signal issue too with a nice light assembly he has made. Turn signal and brakes all right under the fender.

I just added a bracket to the license plate and moved the signals. Required splicing in some wire.

m-cman.. do u have any full pics of ur bike. i've only seen bits and pieces and it looks gorgeous...

also jeff, do you have any pics of this that sean speaks of?

Thanks for the kind words. It does get a lot of attention wherever we go. More than any of my friends bikes and we as a group have a great collection of bikes.

Don't have any good pics. All were taken in the garage during the re-do. Have made several changes along the way. Seems I never stop adding or changing something...

I will post in the Gallery when I get around to taking some pics out in the sun.

Try as we might, m-c let's that thing go. Always dirty, in disrepair and sounding as if it's on its last legs. He has been wanting me to ask....anyone have some jumper cables for sale - cheap? :lol_hitting:

I used an aftermarket Harley softail bracket - had to modify it a little to fit, but was easy enough to do

I believe Dennis Kirk, Cyclegear and a few others offer relocate
kits. Run about $20 if I remember correctly.

Thanks a lot. At least I HAVE a V-Max....

Haven't seen you at coffee in a while. Still taking the daughter to her sports events on coffee night?

Here is a few options. I used a "Motrax RSend" bracket on my chop (the one in the photo as my signature). Very simple fit, and adjustable to have the signals as far out or close into the plate as you wish. Busters are a good company too, never had any problems with them.

Here is what I did on my bike: http://www.vmaxforum.net/showpost.php?p=28802&postcount=23

And the attached picture is another option we can have made up for you, for around $30 depending on the finish - chrome, polished stainless steel, powder coating, etc

Thanks to all for the help. I ended up relocating with my home made bracket, used an old outdoor speaker bracket. Installed the stock signals but they seem to vivrate a bit too much. I will be replacing those with the mini turn signals which seem to be less weight and will not stick out so much.
