slim / blackline sissy bar - turn signal modification and license plate relocate
Does anyone know what the best method for installing detachable hardware for a sissybar ( backrest For the wife ) on a 2012 slim would be?
I believe the problem is with the detach levers on the sissy bar and that they interfere with the billet turn signals - the license plate is also attached to the billet turn signals.
Right now I am considering installing a HD mod which reduces the size of the turn the signal bracket (i am not sure on the kit number, but it reduces the size of each billet bracket to allow for proper clearance).
When I install that mod I will also have to relocate the liscense plate ... I am looking for a good swing arm vertical plate with led light that doesn't interfere with the swing arm bag.
Any help would be appreciated . I would like to keep it as simple as possible to maintain the "stripped down" look of the slim. Let me know if you have any ideas / thoughts....
Thanks,
Cole

I had to install them on my Slim for same reason (sissy bar and bags).
To be honest, it's not the most elegant feature of the bike... but so far I had no other choices.

The billet tail light modification kit is a new HD product which swaps out the trangular looking plastic mount on each light for a "rod" like mount which allows for the detachable hardware clearance.
I am planning on getting this mod - just need to figure out which license plate relocation kit to purchase.. so far I like the kuryakyn glossy black horizontal mount, but I am unsure if it will fit with my solo swing arm bag.

Does anyone have this liscnese plate kit?

ive got an extra brand new blackline onepiece sissy bar for sale if interested. im running the rod relocation kit for the blinkers also. there not that bad. as stated the wires are a tight fit going threw the rod though. tip if installing yourself. soap and water to lube the wires. and when tightening the blinker to the rod, pop out the little reflector piece and spin it so you dont twist the wires.
