Default Crossbones turn signal relocation

2009 Crossbones

I want to relocate front signals to the forks, the same way which has been discussed here, using the left mounting bracket from the handlebars and getting another. My question is, will I have problems with signals hitting the tank when turning forks all the way one way or the other? Thanks

Nope, the fork bumpstops will stop before they would hit the tank.

skullplant...I originally used the mirror brackets to move mine down. While it looked better than having them on the bars, it still looked a bit off. I ended up getting the $20 kit from Dr. V-twin, it is made by either custom chrome or drag specialties. It is definitely worth it. It has a much more finished look. Plus, it positions them a bit better in my opinion....

Yes, Le Pera seat. Bought the bike as-is with the bars and lowered from the previous seller, so I don't know what they are.
