Front Turn Signal Relocation Kit Fatboy
Any idea where to find a front turn signal relocation kit for a faboy? I'm looking for the type where the signal will mount on the outside of the forks. Local Harley dealer was no help, and the mounts Headwinds makes, mount the signal on the inside of the forks. Puts the signals too close together for my taste. Any suggestions?

I wish I had taken pics of how I fabbed mine up, however I will try to explain. I replaced my lower windshield mount screws with pieces (about 1") of threaded stainless rod. I also purchased two sets of these

However I bought chrome off brand from Drag Specialities at about $10. a pair. I used the brackets on the lower part of J.P. s picture and the threaded rod threads into the base of the bracket. I drilled holes under my windshield bracket, used grommets and fed each signal light wire through to hide them. I don't have pics of the process but here is the finished result.
Cheers!

I used a piece of all thread, some chrome 1" spacers, and chrome washers from ACE Hardware. I removed the lower bolt from the front tin and replaced it with the the all thread. put on the spacer, used the washers to am some playing with the all thread to get the light to point forward.
I then took it all off and used some blue loctite to hold everything in place.
It works fine, looks clean, and was less than $20.
