Default Alloy Art Marker Light Idea...Any ideas?

Okay, I am trying to figure a way to clean up my rear fender. I am thinking about eliminating my stock rear turn signals and mounting some maker lights to my black axle covers. I am wondering if anyone knows of an application that will work?

I am thinking about maybe using these: http://www.alloyart.com/products/dal.html

and mounting them to my axle covers shown below. Not sure if it will work. Any other ideas will be appreciated.

I was thinking of taking a 2010 touring light bar and getting rid of the tail light and mounting the plate under it when I get the longer klock Works fender. Just another ideal or dream for now.. LOL Brotha we are riding May 1st. Headed to Ennis for a day ride. You are more than welcome to go with us..

I think Kuryakyn sells the axle covers with turn signals in them. Not sure how you could get the Alloy Art's to fit.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner. A friend was trying to sell me his. Not my style I have rear axle covers as they are a pain the rear to remove when taking off the wheel. I don't care how ugly my rear axle looks. They are $94.95 but i do not see them in black in my catalog here.

if you'r looking at alloy art, why not just get the strut lights?

don't have to worry about fitting anything to your axle covers and they clean up the fender nicely.

Not quite what you are asking... cost effective though. I plan on placing the bullets signals onto the strut. I may keep the nut spacer that is already on the bike for the relocation kit or use a small 1/4 chrome round spacer. All that is needed is some 5/16-18 threaded stock that is hollow in the middle to run the turn signal wires through. 5/16-18 is the size of the bolt behind the strut holding the signal relocation pieces and the thread size into the signal. Just need to find the hollow threaded stock. Been to Ace, Home Depot - cant find it locally.

Those do look sick. Love them everytime I see them. That's what I will probably do. They look great Toastman.
