CrossBones Front Signal Relocation
Thought I would share with you, how simple it is on the CrossBones to relocate the front signals from the handlebars to the fork.
The mounting holes and bolts come on the bike already for you. The expense is cheap and won't cost more than $5.00. It cost me nothing. The only part you need is a turn signal mounting bracket to match the one on your left (clutch side) handlebar. You will notice that the right and left are mounted different on the bars.
On the fork, there is a bolt on either side that I used to mount the signals. On the left side (clutch) the bolt does absolutely nothing and I guess is just there to make production simpler. On the right side, the bolt simply holds a wire bracket to keep the brake and throttle cables from rattling around.
The relocation took me about one half hour and the appearance is much cleaner. I dressed mine up by using a stud and chrome acorn nut to replace the original bolts, but the original bolts will work. Just thought I would share!
