Checked out the D2Moto and the ExpensiveAssLights...I mean BrightAssLights. The D2Moto ones look good. http://www.d2moto.com/p-12438-harley...ake-light.aspx
And I bet the kit for your lowrider was a clamp that mounted to your fork tubes. That don't work on an FL type front end. I tried to give a suggestion to ya. But hey keep looking for an HD kit and good luck with that. If you want to relocate to the forks your going to have to do some work or pay some one else to. There is no plug and play way to do it as far as I know of.

Listen man, I'm not trying to get into a pissin' match with ya, I'm just telling you straight goods that H-D does make front turn signal relocation kits, or at one time did. Simple.

I agree with you that they do make them. You can get them for Sportsters and most of the Dyna's. The ones I have seen are the fork mount that is like a clamp that mounts to the fork tubes. I looked all over for a relocation kit for my bike this past year and could not find one. I can can lead you to places that have all the supplies to do it yours self including the wires, terminals and plug needed. Just trying to help ya out man. Believe me before a few weeks ago no one here had a clue and what to do with the 2011-2012 bike with the signals wired into the hand controls. Not until Fat11LO provided some info. Some folk had it done at a shop and have no clue as to how it was wired. I like to do things myself. In the DIY section of the Softail thread there a couple of different post that will show you different ways to mount the signal lights to the forks but none of them cover the wiring of the 2011-2012 bikes.

Hell man if ya lived in the area I would be the first one over with a rack of beers and we would knock it out in no time at all.

Funny you say that. My fat boy is en route to me, I'm searching for mods and info, and it's been the craziest bike for me to figure out yet! And that's the 2010!!! LOL
And you're right - if you were in this area, we would knock a few back and see if we could figure it out, no prob.

Well your lucky that with the 2010 your signals are still run through the handle bars and connect under the tank already and not wired into the hand controls. Should be an easy job if and when you do the Ape install. Being that your going to have to pull all the wire through the old and new bars. were're all here to learn from each other and help when we can.

I know i'm a few posts late now.. but Harley makes the front end turn signal kit for FX (Wide-Glide) style front ends (I.e, Deuce, Night Train, Standard, etc)..my dad had one on his 2000 Train.. but we have FL style front ends, and Harley doesn't make it for our bikes directly.. and yes, you lucked out getting the 2010 Lo before they started doing all sorts of funky stuff to the electrical system

Thanks for the compliment Jim. But it doesn't look like she will be moving on her own until AT LEAST this Sunday.

I finally got that bolt situation fixed on the forks (a buddy had a cordless impact drill... I gotta get me one of those) but now I need new drain plugs/bolts (why in the world they decided that bolts that needed to be tightened down to 58 - 72 ft/lbs should have a phillip's head top is beyond me). I swear, this "simple" job is going to be the death of me. Add that to a bad *** sprain I just got and you could say my week is going "super"...

Anywho, y'alls bikes are lookin great and hopefully I will have mine put all back together and take some pics of it... once it is all back together, it is going to take a hell of alot more than a sprained ankle to keep me from riding.
