Yeah JPCycles uses their own part #320-455.
It's pretty damn stupid of them to not map the original part number to their own database identifier.
I wonder how many online sales they use because of that.

Rhino, can you do me a favor and (if you have em from your bar swap project) post photos of the unwired/unmounted turn signals?
Thanks.

Yep, did mine last weekend. The J&P cycles mount will not work with the Fat Bob. Ok, I take that back, they'll work, but because of the location of the pinch bolts, the lights will not face forward - instead they point out at an angle of of about 30%. I tried the J&P brackets in a dry run and the look reminded me of Marty Feldman 
I went ahead and bought the H-D kit. Nicely made and the installation is clean and pretty straightforward. I didn't like the set up at first as It seems like they stick out a bit much, but the more I look at it, the more I am getting used to it.
I think the overall aesthetic improvement - having removed the turn signals from the handlebars - was totally worth the effort.

Blast from the past.
I can't seem to find any pics of the relocation I originally did. I ended up changing direction change with the mods on the bike, which called for no front turn signals.
It's easy enough to pull the wires - I think the instructions that come with the H-D relocation kit are decent. I remember disconnecting the plugs from up under the front of the tank and removing the connectors, then pulling the wires (still connected to the turn signals) through he handlebars from the bar ends.
I wonder if anyone has come out with a flush mount kit yet that will mount to the triple trees...
Good luck with your project
