I think the $300 that 128auto was talking about is for the signal light relocation assy.
man guys not everything has to be $$$ to be good... i hopped on Ebay, $16 bucks later i had a set of these below at my door (have used this same set on prob 10 bikes now)

then i tapped into the stock harness, (i did not knock it down using a rectifier as i personally like the hyper flash that LED's give you... but you can use a rectifier to get the slow blink as well) I then just tied in another LED in the mother board of my led tail light but that is not needed at all just did it for grins while i had it apart... drilled a small hole in the fender and ran the wires
when i made my fender fills i did notch out the fill so you can see the signal behind it... ill have to snap some pics of that as i do not have any good ones... i can snap a few if you would like... sorry for the poor quality but here is a vid of the lights a while back when i did them

Those are nice but I rather be visible.
I have seen those brake lights alone without the factory turns, they confuse people, it's hard to judge when the stop and turn lights come on at the same time. I really like the setup I have now, running light in the middle, when I brake, 3 red lights, super bright!

Good idea but I have a nice lay down billet tag bracket, not planning on replacing.
ebay search $43.74
KURYAKYN 3155 LICENSE PLATE TURN SIGNAL RELOCATION MOUNT
Your turn sinal stand-offs stick out far enough to clear an 8" plate. Just cut a piece of sheet metal the same size as the plate and bolt your plate to it. It can also be used straight up or the laydown licese plate position

If I can't find anything, I might end up putting my stock turns on the rear fender where you put yours, it shouldn't look too bad I think.

I moved my stock lights to the same place as JRK did. I made a bracket that runs inside the fender and I bolt the light on from the inside. I had to drill two holes in my new fender but felt it was worth it. Looks much cleaner and cost me about $5 and about 2 hours time. I will try to take a picture tonight.

Or you could just leave them stock and go with a detachable bag that does not require you to move the signals. We came out with this bag this spring and response has been great. So great that we still don't have them on our website but I can send you a brochure on them if you pm me.
What makes it work is the tiny bracket that goes in-between the turn signal stem and the strut, this gives us the second mounting point (patent pending).
