Ole Coyote check these out for turn signal relocation. I have them on my Bones, got them powder coated black. Check out my pics in my album and there are some pics of them.
So honestly how is the learning curve for the suicide clutch and tank shift? I am really considering doing this. I have spoke with guys out here who have it and they have said it is pretty easy and once you make the switch you wont go back to hand clutch, but they have been riding with that setup for years. Bike is looking awesome.

Shifting isn't reallly a problem now, except for steep hills with stop signs. Believe it or not it's all in the right hand. Gas and braking at the same time, but it's cool. But, I'm learning real fast.
Thanks for the help.

no no no no... LOL
there is a small button mounted to the switch gear housing, that when you pull in the clutch it allows you to start the bike in gear.... as long as the clutch pulled in....
with the new setup the bike has to be in neutral to start it....
i thought about trying to disable it... but i'm such a dumb @ss I would start it in gear and dump the bike....
