Default Signals on handlebars...

Does anyone prefer the signals on the bars as opposed to being attached to the forks? I find this a strange design but maybe it is part of the Harley mystique. What do you think?

On your bike, I like them where they are at. On mine, so far, I like them on the bars.

Anubisss, I like yours where there at, you don't see many fatboys with your TS setup, usually I see FB's that move them to a passing lamp situation like what I did. How about smoking out your lenses?

For me it is a safety issue bro, I like to maximize the chances that the cage in front acknowledges my existence so, the higher the better.

Mimo.

I'm waiting to pick up some new bars. When I have everything off, the turn TS will be moved to the sides like Anubisss.

Mine are on the bars and I like them just fine. I like your too but I'm not sufficiently motivated to make the swap.

As long as my bars stay stock, the turn signals will stay where they are.

From a distance, when you see another bike approaching, you can always be sure it's a Harley when you see the TS up near the grips. I don't think any other bike out there is configured that way.

Makes it easier to wave to JUST Harleys! (he hee heeeee heeeeee...... j/k)

Moved mine down on the forks on my Fatboy, and like them better. My Chubby-1 handelbar feels less cluttered.
