Default Shovel Signals

I have a custom hardtailed 1979 shovelhead. I am looking to put some low profile front turn signals on either the lower end of the frame or on my forks. Just looking to see if anyone has any pictures of theirs like this or if anyone has suggestions / ideas for me. Thanks in advance for any help

While it is possible...even likely, someone here can help ya.
The place to be looking is probably Chops are Us.
Especially since Custom Signals is a fairly Generic kinda thing.

Depends on what front end your running , all kinda choices for lights and ways to mount them. Frame mounted on the front usually doesn't make the cops happy.

I'm running a wide 41mm front end. Front forks would be ideal just mainly concerned about Puting a low profile switch in somewhere to work the signals.

They have trick mounting clamps that fit the 41mm tubes and depending on what kind of controls your are running on the bars you can either use the stock switches or do something with single contact button switches that mount to the bars with a few small holes for the wires & screws . Here's one choice and there's a few different types out there. Wring in a flasher unit is simple.

Or just do what I did on my 77 rigid shovel and don't run them at all

These lights were on the wall at my local bike shop. They aren't technically legal, and needed a solid state flasher, but they do the job...


The mounts slide on the tubes so had to on when assembling front end.
