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.
