OMG...you committed a mortal sin...you didn't do a search..
That's ok 'cause I did one for "front signal relocation" and the first thing that came up was something about "mini floorboards on a wide glide"
Anyway..Harley has a kit just for that but IMO, the signals are stuck out way too far...Some riders here have a really great job done though..
So...If you don't mind , I'll sit here with you, waiting for someone to reply with a really great idea....

Get some clamps. You'll need ones for 49mm fork tubes. Do a google search for 49mm front turn signal brackets/clamps or some variation thereof.

Here are a few choices at various price points...

Great question Joker. I'd like to know how this has been done also. It really cleans up the look of the handlebars! What is the HD part# for the front turn signal relocation kit?

Thanks everyone! I'm new to HD Forums, and can't get over the wealth of knowledge there is available.

I made a bracket and moved mine down to the frame tubes.

Prior to that I used the Kuryakyn 49mm clamps and mounted them on the upper fork tubes.

Prior to that I used the Harley kit and I hated the way it stuck the signals out so far.

J&P sells a kit now that lets you mount the turn sigs onto the pinch bolts,to me this is the best solution if you're gonna run the sigs on the fork tubes.

No,I don't know why I have to do everything three or four times.

Good Luck

Tom
