Default Rear Turn Signals

I have a 06 Fat Boy and would like to change the rear blinkers. I have detachable bags on the bike and have a signal relocation kit from HD. The blinkers are sticking 3 inches or so away from the bike. I don't really care for the look. I'm looking for something that brings the blinkers in closer to the bike. Any suggestions or pics would be appreciated.

Thanks

I've seen these off the denis kirk website, they look nice.

or you can wire in the kuryakyn lighted phantom covers for your signals. Have you seen those?



I installed the phantom covers on mine and I use the lights as running lights. you could pretty easy wire that led in as a turn signal.

I put on the Panacia tail light with blinkers built in, $90.00 and looks just like the stock tail light. I took off my rear signals.

I wouldn't mind having something with running lights too.

My 06 has relocating hardware and the lights are much closer than other kits I have seen, only about a one inch spacer. They must have more than one kit. Try ACE Hardware. They have a great selection of chrome spacers, use a shorter spacer?

Also, a run/turn/brake module with quality LED's is a vast improvement over stock.

I have some no name signals off of ebay. Here is a pic. If you need a link let me know. I think they were $20. I had to get some longer bolts to mount them as the ones that came with the signals were not long enough to reach through the fender and struts. A quick trip to the local custom shop took care of that. I used a nut as a spacer on each side. I don't run saddlebags, but am sure that you could with these.

I bought this relocation kit with a laydown license plate holder. It keeps the turn signals nice and clean.
Bought it from http://www.greatbikegear.com/product...s/eb-TSDNA.htm

I forgot to say that my signals could mount closer to the struts if I were to take the spacers off.
