The site says you NEED turn a signal relocation kit. DaddyKnuck suggests the ball receptical. But why do you need either one of these? Why can't you just rotate the turn signals with the new bars?

The turn signal will smack the top of your tank. As i recall, one side cleared by a very little, but the other side sooner or later was going to give you a dent or a chip.

I thought that might be the case but I wanted to be sure. The relocation kit is expensive for what it is. I looked up the part number for the ball recepticals but it didn't match anything.

It's part number 130 in the attached list and diagram.

If you're going to go with beach bars go with the Wild1 Chubby Beachbars. You'll be able to run the wires internally, which looks so much cleaner then wires zip tied all over the place, the thicker (1 1/4 inch) bars look better as well.

Here's some pics of my turn signals relocated. I think it looks so much nicer than being on the bars.

The bars are on order. Now I'm just wondering if the tall CB sissy bar will look goofy with the lower bars on the front.
