Rear Turn Signal Relocation
I've gotten a little tired of the rear signals sticking out so far, so I've thought of a couple options that hopefully you guys can help me out with.
I was thinking about buying a shorter bracket instead of the OEM long one, to tighten up the signals to the fender strut. I found a set on JP for cheap, but not sure about the fit: Short rear turn signal
secondly I was thinking about moving the signals to the axle. I saw this on a bike in the forum a while ago, but I'm unsure of who it was. My only concern with this is running the wiring along the swing arm (any thoughts cleaner than zip ties?) Also, does anyone know who makes these brackets?
I'd appreciate any help! and let me know what you've done!

Also you can get the deuce standoffs for your signals. They sit real close to the struts.
Putting them on the swingarm , I doubt they would be all that visible down there. May look ok and keep you legal if your state requires them.

This is what I got. I know you can get them cheaper but I try to stick with some of the HD stuff since it will pretty much always fit.

The kit pulled them in enough to make them less of an eyesore.

You can make the lights disappear all together with this set up from Alloy Arts, they basically slide on to the end of your fender struts...and look good. Check em out

Those are nice, except the price! I wish I could start making things like this, materials can't be over $5.00...
