Default Turn signals - wiring in stems

02 FXDL
The turn signals have been relocated- attached to the lower triple.
The wiring doesn't run thru the stems I have.
Seems to me that Harely offers the newer Dynas the option for internally wired stems, but not the older.
Suggestions?
(btw - certainly don't need the parts to be Harely)

Can you post a pic of the setup? I have not seen any front signals that are wired through the stems, but then I have not seen everything...lol
I looked at doing something similar on mine, but could not come up with a decent way that made a big difference for my front signals. Being attached to the trees, there is no place to run the wires once attached to the trees or forks.

You can get these brackets for your forks: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/3300271

Then get some hollow bolts, or have them made locally to the right length: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/381-364

Finally, to plug the hole in your turn signal, go to Ace and get a 3/16" chrome plug and silicone it in place.

The problem with that setup is where do the wires emerge from the bolts, you going to drill a hole in the fork tubes? Or in the bracket, which really does not change anything except about an inch of wire .
