H-D Mirrors w/ turn signals... thoughts?
I'd like to eliminate the frontbullet turn signals hanging off the handle bars on my '02 Fatboy... just don't like the looks of 'em.
Looking at the H-D mirrors w/ LED signals - to my eye theylook nicer than the other brands out there, but they aren't cheap @ $300. Before I invest in them, just wondering if anyone could give me some input on 'em. How were they to install / any issues with function ordurability / recommend something else?
As always, thanks in advance!!

I think they look great and was tempted to get a set, but was never able to figure out where or how to hide the wires for them. So I elected to just relocate the stockers to the fork legs and covered the wires with mesh to make them look a little nicer.
Here's a before and after look at the wires.
And another out at the turn signal itself. I use a piece of shrink tubing to finish off the end and keep it from fraying.
Sorry the pic isn't better, but I think you get the idea.

Friend of mine just added the turn signal mirrors to his Rocker so he could get rid of the bullets. It's a clean install. I'll look next time I see him to see how he routed them. I think he just cut/spliced the bullet signal wiring that was already in place. So no new wires to run and nothing sticking out.

The dealer did it on my Rocker for me. Check out my post.

Good idea locating them down near your foot pegs...keeps the top end cleaner - I might try that -
