Default fork mounts

I know this might sound stupid, but I want to move my frot turn signals from under the handlebars to the front forks. I have a 99 FXST, do I have 41 mm front forks? I need to know so I can order the fork mounts this week!

Thanks

Default RE: fork mounts

I dont know about a 99 fxst, but my 02 fxst has 41mm fork's. If you want to try something different, that cost's little, or nothing, try this. I used stud's and chrome spacers on my upper tripple tree's where the fork lock bolt's come in from the side's. I removed the original bolt's, installed threaded stud's, and chrome spacers, and just threaded my original turnsignal housing's on. You will need to "backspin" the turnsignals the correct amount of turn's so the wire wont bunch up. I got the stud's and chrome spacers from the local hardware store. I think it all cost about five bucks.
