Title: Turn Signal Relocation
Post by hunnus2000 on 01/25/07 at 15:06:01

Hello all,

Been awhile since I posted but searched this site and can't find my answer. Does anyone know if they make a turn signal relocation kit for the Savage?

I want the ability to put bigger saddlebags on the bike.

Thanks!!

I don't know of a kit to do it, but you should be able to extend the license plate mount, put a couple of bracket on that, and attach them there, I should think. I know there is a similar problem with the Shadow VLX signals, and that's the easy fix.

what year is your ls 650???what is the size of the bags??? if newer with coned shaped housing get older style "flat backs" to gain about 1 1/2"....

there are brackets that mount to the license plate bolts that you could mount t.s. to......OR fab your own out of flat chromed stock....

It's a 2006 but we did notice that there may be an oppurtunity near the license plate as mentioned earlier. Anyone done this mod?

The saddlebags I currently have are the Jafrum. http://www.jafrum.com/Motorcycle-Luggage-Bags/Leather-Saddlebags/SD4013-Motorcycle-Leather-Saddlebag

I have a Sabre 1100 and am going for some Leatherlykes and want to give the Jafrums to the wife.

The Taillight Relocate Kit included with LeatherLyke saddlebags. Basically a short piece of angle steel, drilled, a couple of nuts and bolts, and a bit of wire and splices. You will want to keep the wires dressed up tight so they will not get rubbed by the rear tire.

I bought a set of aftermarket turn signals when i ditched the side fender chrome and sissy bar. I drilled them into the thick flange, next to the reflector, on the license plate bracket. I had to take the reflector off though. They look great and are under the fender and outta the way. I hated those big ones anyway.

You do what you can do to help each other. Been there, both sides. It is nice to know that when you're up the creek without a paddle, someone will hand you a paddle.
