Front and Rear Turn Signals

Front and Rear Turn Signals
OK, I have been reading allot about turn signals lately....having the rear be running and brake lights...ect.
Now I am only thinking out loud here for some more info. I have only been riding a HD for a couple months, but have a ton of ideas that I would like to do. Like to have my rear turn signals for brakes and running lights. And I would like to put clear lenses on the turn signals and NOT be able to see the colored bulbs. So when I was reading a post from CrawdadAZ, a thought came over me.
"Why can't we put front turn signals on the rear?"
The fronts take 1157 bulbs, and several companies make the "silver" or chrome covered bulbs in red and amber. And with the 1157 in the rear, you can have your rear turn signals do everything you want.....turn signal, brake, and running.
Now I have a 2000 Heritage with the flat lenses, and the mounts appear to be the same front and rear. This may not be the same with others? And I will take mine apart and check to see if the fronts will in deed fit if no one else knows.
So tell us what you think about that!

As an aside, I just got the new Kuryakyn catalog. Looks like they have a similar module but theirs adds the flashing brake light option. As I recall their older module only worked with their panacea lights but I could be wrong. For a few bucks more the flashing brake light may be worth looking at.

Yeah, I know, actually I have the kit from Harley that makes them run, brake and turn signals. And it was $60.00. I have seen many boxes of turn signals on eBay for less than $20.00 including shipping though.
The real issue comes when you want to go to the clear lenses and NOT see the red bulb inside. And to find 1156 in red is another story, very hard to find!
So I was just thinking that simply putting the front TS on the rear would make things a little easier???? As for wiring, anyone that has done a trailer can wire these the same.
Am I making any sense???
