Default signal relocate question

I have a 2008 lowrider and I want to relocate the front turn signals from the bars to the forks.

I want them to be close to the forks, I thought I saw some replacement lower tree pinch bolts that had the mounting stud for the lights protruding from them, but I am not sure if they will work. The lower tree pinch bolts on my bike are angled at about 45 deg to the rear, if I use these bolts won't my lights be angled out as well? Am I missing something?

If your pinch bolts are angled, mine are angled back as well, then that bolt to install the lights will not work. I was going to go that route and made a set of these bolts with the correct angle. But then decided to just go with the kuryakyn turn signal relcation brackets. It put my signals up against the forks.

There are fork clamps that bolt to the forks (duh) above or below the lower triple tree bar.

I'm using the LED fork signals from Joker Machine. I swapped the sides they are supposed to be on so they don't stick out past the forks. I know they look too close together, but several people have told me that it is still obvious which way I intend to turn.

Those signals look great but are alot of money. They match the lower tree very well.

The Hotop signal relocation kit is pretty nice and made in the USA.
