turn signals hitting tank - help

I just had a new set of bars installed on a 2008 Fat Boy. They are the one piece bars/risers (it all flows together). They are a 6" rise with a few inches of pullback, nothing major (was able to utilize my stock cables). The bars are close to 29" to 30" if I remember correctly (had a shop install them). Well, the bike is all done, but unfortunately, the turn signals hit the gas tank

I've been looking online for a small set of directionals, something smaller than the stockers so that I can get some additional clearance. There is a J&P Cycles on my way home (I live near Daytona Beach) so I was thinking of stopping in there. I didn't see anything that would work on their website (I may have missed it). I'm figuring I'm prob not the first to have this problem. Does anybody have any advice on this or a link to what parts they used? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Relocate them to the forks for $20 and some of your time or buy a harley auxiliary light kit.

fwiw - The turn signal relocation is my favorite mod.

Depending on how much clearence you need. Harley sells different mounts that goes on your bars. Instead of your lights hanging they extend horizontally. I have them on my bike because Im going to install drag bars. HD recommends them with their Street Slammer bars.
