Rear Turn Signal Relocation Kit for Dyna

I bought this kit because it was: 1) cheaper than the corresponding kit for the Sportster and 2) it included the laydown license plate bracket, which the Sportster item did not. There was only one caveat. The turn signal cans on the Dyna have different pitch of thread on them than do Sportsters'. Who knows why? Usually HD is pretty good about keeping parts the same as much as possible. Dyna and Sportster turn signals look the same and act the same, but have different thread pitch on the can to stalk interface. It is not a big problem if you know how to re-thread the stalks with a die. I bought the corresponding die at Sears and re-threaded the stalk in the relocation kit and the Sportster cans fit on there perfectly. The rest of the relocation was according to instructions and turned out very well. I needed to relocate the rear turn signals to use saddlebags with Easy Brackets. Here is the picture of the relocated rear turn signals.

Easy Brackets for Saddlebags

I used cheap throw over saddle bags for months before I decided that I hated how the throw overs kept slipping and sliding all over the place. I really needed some support brackets. I was not crazy about the permanent support brackets that remain on the bike when the bags are removed. I wanted a clean look when the bags were off. I found Easy Brackets to be a very good solution. Easy Brackets are support brackets that mount to the bike using posts in the rear fender strut. There is a keyed locking mechanism to prevent the brackets being removed from the bike without a key. A set of bags can be bolted to the brackets and then be removable using the bracket key. Once removed, the only thing that remains on the bike are the posts that are made of polished stainless steel and can serve as bungee posts. I ended up using the same cheap throw over bags I had to bolt to the brackets and it has worked out great. have a look in my gallery to see what they look like on the bike. Rear turn signal relocation is required. I used a turn signal relocation kit for a Dyna that incorporates a laydown license plate bracket.
