Default Front Turn Signal Relocation Kit

If you relocated your front turn signal from the handlebar to the fork, can you tell me which one you have and where you bought it. Pics would be great too. I already know of the HD relocation kit #68517-94A but just looking for other options since that one sticks out a bit.

Please also include information on your install...any trouble with installation i.e. need to change bolts, wire routing issues, etc.

I have a 2011 Sportster Low XL1200L.

Thank you

Thank you Traxxtar. Seems to be an easy install.

Has anyone used or installed these mounts...bolted directly to the triple tree?

I bought those Ebay ones for an 883L I had a couple of years ago. They were good and are closer to the fork, better than the HD ones. Only wish I could find them in Gloss black. There was no need to add wiring, you should have enough length available for the install.

You can't see them that well in the photo but it gives you an idea.

That looks great. It is like it is supposed to be there and not an aftermarket add-on. Thanks.

Did you have to lift the front wheel off the ground to unscrew the triple tree bolt or did it stay in place without lifting the front?

No need to lift off the ground since you will only be changing one bolt on each side. The other bolt will hold the fork tube in place. I chose the lower part (bolt) for the install, but have seen some use the upper bolt. Just make sure you adjust the angle of the turn signal before you tighten it down against the forks.

I tried the kind that clamp on the fork. Ebay from china, which I'm pretty sure most if not all of those sold even from the american stores are still the china ones. The threads were total garbage inside one of the clamps, one couldn't even grab, and they really didn't cinch down very far, big gap left in between them. They said they were for 39mm forks, and they did line up, but not pretty. Bad quality, and I thought they looked ugly on my iron.

I bought these but haven't installed yet.

If they were black in color they were not the same ones then that I got. I have looked all over for that same style in gloss black to no avail. I have used two of those kits in chrome for two Sporties and have had no problems at all with them.

Edit: Take it back, I just found it in Black. When I looked for them in black over a year ago I couldn't find them. Looks like I will be ordering a set for the Nightster and get rid of the Harley ones I have installed now.

Before the install you might want to check out the reviews of that kit on Revzilla because people have been having problems with the bolts for that kit.

Well some are talking about the provided tree bolts, others are talking about the signal bolts (which it doesn't come with). I have the signal bolts already, we'll see how the tree bolts are.
