Advice needed: Leather Pro T-Sport bags don't fit with Signal Relocation

Some advice needed on signal options. I installed the Great Bike Gear signal relocation kit with the original bullet turn signals on my LRS....the issue is that the Leather Pro t-sport bags really don't fit well in my opinion against the turn signals; the signals rub against the bags.

What other signal options are out there? I'm not going to install a full fender and I'd rather not go with an all-in-one led licence plate.

Are there smaller bullet signals or low profile signal recommendations?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Smaller signals should work. Look at the Motogadget M-Blaze Pins as one option.

(I've got a set for sale, but probably won't do you any good as I am in the UK!)

Thanks for the suggestion....never heard of these before.

Any other low profile or small bullet signal suggestions? I'm looking for a combo that is brake/signal/running light.

I've run the X-arc duos on a past bike. Super small and absurdly bright LEDs. Plus, they can be set up as multi-function/multi-color for run/brake/turn.

Be a little careful with those. They WILL fit, but you do need to do a bit of a mod to the bags. It's easy - just heat up the backing plate near to where signals are with a heat gun and push it in a little to clear the signal. The back plate is thermoformed plastic and can be adjusted with a little heat. The bags work 100% but you WILL need to make the mod or they won't fit.

Bear in mind that this may only apply to Fat Bobs as the struts may be different - but I want to put it out there for people thinking about these bags with those signals.

How do I know this? I have the same bags and signals on my FXDF, and I wouldn't change them.
