Default Turn signal mounted on strut

finally got signals tucked in on the strut, used the blank plate harley sells to cover up the ugly part of the strut and the cover that came with the layback frame and turn signal relocate kit, added a 1.5 long 5/16 bolt and boooyaa there they are

Nice, I wonder why more people don't do that as opposed to buying Harleys shorter turn signal stalks? Mine are bolted directly to the frame rails.

Perhaps beacause we weren't clever enough to think about it! At least I wasn't ! [sm=headbang.gif]

very nice... how about a pic of it jus a bit futher back... i am at work and want to see what the whole thing would look like... i keep tearing up my wires under there with my 180 tire and have tucked them away 100 times insulating the wire wrapping it zip tie out of the way, replaced with thiner wire, you name it i have tried it, but with as low as i sit and as wide as that tire is it keeps catching it... i need to move them but do not want to drill the fender, or loose the detachable gear... i am pulling off my strut covers to do a bit more powder coating and thought that would be a great idea!

What lamp is that? Doesn't look like a stock H-D ricochet lamp.

I don't know if this is possible with your fender or wiring but my wires are completely run outside the fender under the frame rails.I was originally going to run them under those metal strips that run inside the fender but it was actually easier to run them outside.There is nothing inside my rear fender except the bolts that hold my turn signals on and those metal strips I mentioned above.
