Suggestions on clearing inside of rear fender?

Hi

I am in the process of lacing a new 6 inch width rim to the hub of my old 4.5 inch width wheel for my 2010 Wideglide.

My intention is to mount a 200mm width rear tire to replace my current 180mm (173mm) Scorcher.

To do this I think I will need to relocate the stop/turn signals and also reduce the exposed nuts that come through from the struts into the inside of the fender.

Has anyone mounted their signals to the top of the suspension turrets?

Any suggestion on nuts, brackets hardware to reduce protrusion into wheel area?

Thanks for any help given.

Regards

I made brackets to mount my lights to the upper shock mount. Fair amount of work, but it was the only option I liked.

Yeah, the one needed adjusted. Pic was taken before I finished.

Oh, I forgot to mention the crossbar solution. See the link for one example. There are a couple different variations...

Pete is "local" to you and a great guy that builds some of the best custom Dynas on the planet. Roll by there or give them a call. They may already have a fix on the shelf for you...or be able to whip up something for you.
