I think two inches on the apes isnt really noticable anyway. You tend to notice if the bars are moved forward or back. Ermmmm what are turn signal lights ?lol. I just wave me arms around. Enjoy your ride and dont listen to others ideas on what is cool.

Apparently lights hanging from the bars isn't cool. What do I know?

RIGHT !!!!!! Yep, it's your 'first' Harley. Bwahahahaha

Be sure and let us know when you hit that "only one thing left" point.
Please be sure to post pics of the 'last' thing. I wanna know what it looks like, so I can tell Momma FOR REAL, when it is the 'last' thing to add.

As to your bars. If ya didn't notice a change, then agree with RedDevil, shoulda used it for 'other' thnings. But a guy never knows that for sure, til ya try. So, with that behind ya, onto bigger, better and MORE expensive 'things'.

Heck, sounds like you're gonna fit in jus' right, here.

After changing my signal mounts to the 90 degree chrome brackets & adding smoke lens I love the look.
