OK guys I got this kit. Is it as simple as it looks. Any surprises I should know about? I have a 2007 FXDI and plan on mounting signals on the lower 3tree bracket. Do I need new bolts or are the ones supplied OK? Knew to biking and HD. Trying to do some mods myself w/o f---ing things up and voiding my wonderful warrantee.
Any help is appreciated.

RE: Moving front directionals
I like personalizing my bike, but what's with the fascination with moving the front directionals?

RE: Moving front directionals
Dynamite17......You were asking why the the fascination of relocating the front turn signals...I own an 07 FXDC and the reason I am going to move the signals,is that when I crank the handle bars around my signal lights actually hit the gas tank. I've tried to adjust them so they won't, but I can't get any more adjustment out of them. I first realized they hit when turning the handle bar all of the way to the left, to lock the forks, and I heard the signal hit the tank and thought this can't be good!!!! So now I'm trying to figure out which way I want to go with the relocation. There is alot of good info here, just need to figure which way to go!!!!!

Don51,
I have an 07 FXDC. I swapped out the stock bars for Lowrider bars and have the same issue. The bars hit the tank on turns and I have had to adjust my controls up to compensate (not what I want).
I have a set of the 49mmKury clamps sitting on my workbench still in the boxbut after seeing the J&P kit I've decided not to use them. I ordered the J&P kit yesterday. Just wondering if it will be possible to get a slightly longer bolt and chrome spacer to push them out about an inch?

RE: Moving front directionals
As usual the MOCO is about a day late and a doller short...probably over priced as well.Thier new kit looks allot better than thier old kit but unlike this J&P kit still requires an extra clamp.
