RE: removing turn signals
I assume your talking about the rear as the fronts are attached to the bottom of the mirrors.
The rears plug in to the tailight under the red lens. So they unplug easy enough. Just put some dielectric grease into the open plug and you'll be fine.
As for the hole, see if you can find abolt in the local Home Depot, Lowes, or other hardware store, paint it to match theothers andput that through the hole.
As a last resort you can get matching bolts from the Harley dealer, but I'll bet they want a lot more money than its worth.

If you have the factory security system, I wouldn't advise taking your signals off. As far as removing the fronts from the forks of a night train, they plug in under your tank, so unbolt the front of the tank, lift it up, and unplug them. It's that easy. I have a Softail Standard, and I've removed all 4 signals. I replaced my tail light with a Kuryaken LED that has integrated blinkers, so I can still use rear signals (if/when I chose).

The fronts are easy, except for the tank part. That can be a minor pain if the crossover tube istoo short and you can'tlift the tank enough to get at the connector.
Its a little tricky to get at then, but the latch for it is on the outside and all you have to do is get a long screwdriver up to it, depress it and pull it out by its wires.
This is what the connector looks like under the tank and its on the right or passenger side of the frame next to the connector for the right side handlebar controls.
The signals come off by unscrewing them from the bottom of the mirror. But you'll have to put a nut on or the mirrors will just fall off.
An chrome acorn nut is avalable from the dealers, but I just used a common one I got in the local hardware store and added a couple of washers to take up the extra space.
Like this.
If you have the security system installed you may have to either take it out or get a load equilizer resistor. The load resistor should put enough load on the system so it will not know that the lights are missing. But you will not be able to tell if the system is operating properly except from the dash lights as it normally usesthe turn signals for that.

RE: removing turn signals
You could just move the fronts?
And as for the backs take a look at these.

They go on the end of the strut you can pC to match, they go on the end of struts
