You could always run Alloy Art turn signals, depending on what you are trying to accomplish.

I'll have a look at them, thanks for the suggestion

Roger that...

I wasn't judging, just curious...

Getting saddlebags to fit with OEM signals can be a challenge. If you're going hard bags, they'l need to move. Might want to look at a touring bike solution.

Several people on touring bikes, who hated the rear turn signal bar.... would use a smaller, system with tail light/ plate light/signal. I think they were off a Road King but not sure...Also not sure if they would fit your fender... The pic is off the internet

Getting saddlebags to fit with OEM signals can be a challenge. On some models, not sure it can be done without relocating.

And as I found out, just an inch and a half back doesn't necessarily cut it.
