Mine came with the one's that mount below the grips. I have a passing lamps so I just attached them to the studs on the bottom of the lamps. Just had to hog out the holes in the mounting plates a teeny tiny bit to put them on. I think they look allot better down there and can easily move them back up if I want to. Didn't even have to mess with the wiring except to remove it from the bar clips and reroute it to the passing lamps. If it weren't for the fact my bike is in my garage in AZ and I'm in MO right now I'd take a pic and post it.

Leave the T/S alone if you ride on a military base, they can and will have separate requirements for motorcycle registration (base decals) and rider equipment (orange vest, long sleeve, etc.) although they enforce state laws where the base is at also.

The guys at the gate for the base that we are on aren't that bright in the first place. I was a cop on base for 10 years and no the rules on base like the back of my hand but these retards change the rules every other day. Just so long as it passes the state inspection there is not to much they can say. But i am going to find some small LED strips to put on like the triple tree or something like that. I really am just looking for something that makes it real sleek. Any ideas guys or even where i could put them on to were it hides the blinkers.
