Removing Forward Turn Signal
Hey,
Kind of a newbie question, I wanted to know how to remove the forward turn signals on my 07 fatty. I'm looking to relocate them to the forks, like some have done. Looking at them, they look like they are attached to the same place as the mirrors. Are they just screwed in to the switch housing? Just don't want to go ripping and tearing without some sort of insight. I'm relocating them due to the fact that I just bought a set of apes and chrome controls from Hill country custom cycles, and am not sure if they will work on the bars.
Thanx for any input into this.
Brad

They are screwed onto the bottom of the mirror stems which go through the controls. You will need a couple of 5/16-24 chrome acorn nuts to attach the mirrors after removing the signals. Cheap at any auto store or if you want to pay double, a Harley dealer.

Yup.
The right side signal is screwed directly to the mirror stem. The left side has a small bracket that's bolted to the mirror. The signals themselves are held on by a ball swivel joint. Removing the swivel bolt will remove the signals, but what is left looks unfinished. That's why I suggested the acorn nuts to attach the mirrors.

RE: Removing Forward Turn Signal
Third left eye, I apologize for jacking your thread , but I have a similar question. I have an 08 Fat boy on order (should be arriving soon, longest 3 months of my life). I too would like to relocate the turn signals to the fork, but I do not want to use an "Auxiliary Lighting Kit". Iwant a simple clean look, with just the turn signals relocated to the fork, no additional lights. (hope that make sense).For some reason I really dislike the turn signals mounted on the bars. I have searched via the internet and catalogs for a braket/clamp/kit/that will work on a fatty, but have yet to find one. Any ideas?
