Handlebars.......

FORKS ARE FOR METRICS [8D]

So are you saying that most Harley touring bikes are metric's ?

Touring models don't have turn signals on the handlebars, and so I don't believehis question was aimed at them.

I would sorely miss that soft orange glow that the bar mounted lights provide at night,they're staying on the bars.

When I HAD Dynas, I liked the looks way better on the forks.

I didn't like either, so I opted for the turn signal mirrors. Keeps it about as clean as you can get unless you ride without mirrors.

I'll probably relocate them to the forks just to see how they look. But with them on the bars, I do like how they light up the chrome on the front end when riding in the evening. May have to get lizard lights.
