Rear turn signal relocation
I'm putting a detachable backrest and barebacks for my saddlebag on my softail standard. It looks like I'm going to need to relocate my rear turn signals for clearance.
What do you all like for rear signal relocation?
I have a crappy looking black bar fom saddlmen, that bolts on the license plate bolts, but I'm not likely to use that. Kuryakyn makes a chrome one that looks and fits better, but claims to be for "metric cruiser" signals. Thejn there's the HD OEM kits that look like they just change your signals to a round post base instead of the wedge that is stock.
I even though about just getting one of those turn signal license plate rings and dumping the signals.
Anybody try something that is good and cheap?

I'm going to go with a license plate bracket from Easy Brackets. It's a lay down license plate bracket with provisions for attaching the turn signals to it. It comes in black or chrome and runs around 80 dollars I think. It's not necessarily cheap but it looks great and gets the turn signals completely away from where I need to mount my saddlebags giving me more room. Sorry I don't know how to post a link to it but it comes right up with google.

Alloy art strut mount signals. They are very nice LED units.

I looked at a HD kit and it looks like it is intended to move the base of the signal out of the way of the docking sideplates, but I don't think it allowed enough room for the docking sideplates AND saddlebags on Barebacks, since they'd hit right at the back of the signal itself.
