Turn Signal Relocation; De-pinning Your Turn Signals : motorcycle
I'm going to be installing saddlebags that require the tail lights turn signals to be moved farther back on the Sportster. I show how I do this despite the kit that I have purchased, which comes with splicing equipment. I choose not to cut my turn signal wires, as soldering or crimping them back could prove to be trouble in the future. Causing faulty turn signals, I am electing to de-pin the turn signals and re-pin them once I have relocated them. The relocation kit is required for the installation of the hard saddlebags that I will be installing from Viking bags. The relocation kit is from Viking Bags as well as was suggested for this model from their website. I think that installing this kit this way will provide a cleaner install and also be less problematic in the future.
Tool list:
6 mm Allen key
flat blade screwdriver
Philips screwdriver
Combination Wrench .5 in.
Helpful:
Mutli-angle Ratchet
