Default Blackline front signal delete ?

So I decided to raise my tank for a different look. Raised it 2.5in and my signals seem to be slightly touching the tank. So i was wondering if theres a delete kit or can i just cut and seal the wires? I plan on keeping the rear signals. (dont want to relocate my front to forks either) If i cut the fronts will my rears still work ?

Any info is greatly appreciated!

Yup, cut the wires and tuck them inside the controls and throw the signals in a box. I haven't had front signals on my Breakout for over a year.

Yep, you can just cut them. I moved mine under the forward controls.

Just out of curiosity, did you have a problem with you speedo hitting the tank with the tank lift on?

You might get the indicators on the speedo flashing double speed, but the signals themselves will still flash like normal.

I'd get some of the super sick Custom Dynamics wrap around signals.
