Will work on the rocker and moves them to the fork tubes. Makes it look like the signals are mounted to the bottom triple tree clamp.
I bought a set this last weekend. The problem is the fact that the wires are run through the bars and I had a few to many to tackle the project. Maybe this weekend.
but the pinch bolts on that year Dyna and a rocker are different.
The dealer did not have them in stock so I couldn't put an eyeball on them to see if they would work.
I tried the pinch bolt mounts for the VROD, (VROD and Rockers have 49mm tubes)from J&P Cycles. One broke off trying to mount it.
The shoulder of the bolt is too large to let it thread straight.
I'm using the Heartland 49mm fork clamps. In my sig picture they are mounted just above the lower triple tree. I have them mounted just below it now. http://heartlandbiker.com/_product_6...-_41mm_Softail

When I did mine, I had to order several kits from Harley as my dealer had no idea what size the forks were nor did I at the time. This was a couple years ago. Harley makes a relocate kit that clamps to the fork tubes. You would need the one for the '06/'07 Dyna. I believe the newer ones have smaller fork tubes. Any kit for 49mm forks will work. I went with aftermarket that I found on ebay. Can't remember where I got it from, but the kit keeps the lights much closer to the forks than the Harley kit. I had to mount mine above the bottom tree because of the fork bag. If mounted under the tree it will be easier to hide the wiring.

The first kit I listed is for an 08 up Dyna. I physically tried them on a Rocker before I bought them. They are the right size and they work.
Like I said, about the second set, the pinch bolts on an '07 and back Dyna and the Rocker are different and I couldn't look at a set to see if they would work.
You're absolutely correct about your kit keeping the signal light closer to the tubes...
the Harley kit sticks them out there aways.
Love the look on the forks; relocating back first and then will tackle front on '07 fatboy - have not figured out how to hide wire yet. Wonder about using stainless brake lines somehow with banjo fittings or plug wires - should look beefy and cool on an FB - maybe Cheers, Kevin.
The mounts, (clamps) on lazyboy09's bike look to be the same as those I got from Dennis Kirk, ($39.95). But be advised that's all you get, extending and re-routing the wiring is on you, (ie. splicing, soldering, heat shrink, etc). Before I tackle the project I'll pre-read everything relating, (tank and handle bar removal etc.) in the Shop Manual.
"Hotwire" over on the Rocker forum /FXCW Owners Group, (http://www.fxcw.org/index.php) said it wasn't too bad a project.
Take your time and it should turn out fine... That's what I'm gonna do.
