Default New Guy with questions: LED signals

This is my second Harley and fourth bike. I've made cosmetic bolt on changes before, but I bought this 2007 Street Bob to upgrade. It's had stage 1 with Thunderheader pipes and a 103 conversion Already have a Rocket Bob Voodoo rear fender, Kellerman LEDs, Ohlin rear shocks from Motorcycle Metals, all new air cleaner, derby , horn, and timing covers. I'm in the process of ordering a 30mmconversion fron Motorcycle metals, along with a dual disc brakeset up. Today's question is about adding the LEDs to the bike and relocating them to under the triple tree. The guy I bought it from had pulled the front signals. I was hoping for input from anyone out there who has wired in LEDs on a Street Bob. Particularly accessingthe wiring in the handle bars and tying in the load manager.

Not a Street Bob, but I did it on my Fat Bob. I have LED Wrap-around signals mounted on the forks. I also added the load equalizer. It's pretty straight forward if you are at all mechanically inclined. Cut/splice/solder. The signal wires are not very difficult to get to either. The wires for the signals come from under the tank accessible under the neck of the frame. That's where I did the splicing...

Nice looking bike by the way...

I think L.E.D. turn signals would work great. If you dont already have one there is an electrical manual for the newer dynas might help you figure out what to do. if not others here will hopefully chime in. Good luck with the mods. I really like how you have set up your bike so far. Nice job.

Thanks for the input so far and the compliments, although it will look somewhat different when I'm done....

There are a few brands of load equalizers that just plug into the existing connectors so you don't have to do any extra wiring. I got mine from Biketronics. Badlans is another company.
