Default Moving turn signals forward

I want to install fork mounted wind deflectors (fangs) on my wife’s Deluxe and need to move the turn signals forward a little, may 1/4 to 3/8 inch. Is it possible without having to modify the light bar for the spots and turn signals,or am I just SOL?

Not knowing what you're using now it's hard to say.

I used these to move mine forward on my Springer. Not 100% sure about your application. They may make a set for the Delux.

Hello, I know this is a very old post, but did you find a solution to moving your turn signals forward? I have the same problem with my bullet signals and the fangs.

If you have the Harley fangs you just install them backwards...have had them several years that way on my Deluxe...no need to move the signals.

Well wonders never cease! I have been scratching my head on this for a while and never thought about reversing them. How is the wind deflection? Do they bump the crash bars? I'll try it today. Thanks!

They work great and do not hit anything. I have them on a 2010 Deluxe.

I just kept the old style fangs on my Heritage and installed the new style fangs on my wife’s Deluxe. Everything fit perfectly.

I have a 05 deluxe and used new factory fangs and they fit without modifications. Close to turn signals and engine guards, but not touching

I am looking for fangs for my 06 Deluxe - when you mention the new style factory fangs, do you mean current part # for the TC Softails or new for the M8 Softails?
