Default softail slim or slim s front signal relocate question

Anyone on here relocate their turn signals from the handle bad controls to the forks? I have seen bikes with this done, but dont know how. If anyone can help with some direction and part name or number, it would be much appreciated.

Put apes on the bike and hate how the signals look hanging from the controls. Looks to me like you can get some kind of threaded bolt to thread into the bottom shroud bolt hole and then thread into the back of the stock lights.

Please help if you can, bike is at the mechanic now and i would really like to make this happen.

Thanks
joe

You might have better luck posting this in the Softail section.

You should get a HD Parts and Accessories catalog. There's a kit in there that will do exactly what you want to accomplish. And it comes with complete instructions!

or.....turn signals in the mirrors,...mine is set up this way, and has the signals in the licence plate mount on the rear fender, it was done already when I got the bike,...wasn't a fan of the signals in the mirrors until now....its just easier and cleaner....

Hello, Does anyone know how I can install a front auxiliary light bar on my 2018 Softail Slim? Harley made a kit for the old slim, but they don't have one for the new models. Any suggestions?

I went with the LED's user the brake and clutch levers. They are very bright and in my opinion look very clean

My '09 Vrod Muscle had the LED running and turn signal in the mirrors. It seemed drivers could see that the best of any bike I've owned.

I have 2020 softtail slim and would like to copy your build.. your bike is beautiful. I do have question about your front turn signal relocation/ replacement. Did you need a load Resistor and did you ha e to get any adapter pieces to put turn signals under the break and clutch leaver.
