My turn signal relocation
Following Story's words, I relocated my turn signals to below my forward controls. Having been asked about how I did it last night, this is to show where I mounted them and how.
I used the holes under my forward controls. I cut the 3 wires staggering about 1" away from each other, beginning my cuts about 3" away from the turn signal housing. After cutting the lights off, I pulled the remainder of the long wire through the trees where they were originally routed and down toward the forward controls. The wires met back together perfectly. There is about an inch or so of "slack" but considering I was prepared to lengthen them, I was pumped about them meeting up the way they did. I used some butt crimp connectors with built in heat shrink, then covered the 3 connectors with about an 8" section of heat shrink. At the base, I just picked up some 5/16" - 24 - 3/4" bolts, some washers, and lock washers. Putting the bolt through from the inside, one washer on the head side of the bolt, then through the bracket, a washer, lock washer, and another washer, lock tite, then started the threads into the housing.
