just finished the install as i asked but didnt recieve any input i assimed the whole unit was used and once i started it was self evident that it was.
i painted the flat bracket black and left the rest..looks factory i like that
i am replacing the swivel part with the chrome ones they will look better and im powdercoting the signals gloss black to match the springer front end..handlebars look way cleaner..i cheated and tucked my wiring under the tank instead of trying to pull it all back through the harness towards the battery..
thanks to original poster this is truly a quick cheap mod anyone can do..

As for a Windshield, Memphis shades makes one that will work, attached to the handle bars and does not go down far enough to hit the turn signals

OK finaly installed the relocations, on the bottom windshield mount of coarse. With some fancy placement I'm still able to install the windshield with about 1/8" clearence on the signals.

Would also appreciate some detailed pics of using the windshield. Have an FL springer (same as used on the bones) and modified my turn signals to the same area. Don't have an HD windshield and would like to use one if possible for long trips.

I"m gonna say the same thing my buddy told me when I told him I may get a Sportster, but in regards to using windshields, "You might as well get breast implants and wear a wig", lmao.
