Default FXSTC: Give your Opinion on This Front Turn Signal Light Bar

2007 FXSTC. Not happy with the current selection of kits & brackets for relocating the front turn signal bullets from the handlebars to the forks.

Thinking about scrapping the bullets and going for one of these:
http://www.jpcycles.com/product/280185DS

Does anyone know of another vendor, beside JP Cycles, who sells these?

Any opinions on this mod are welcome.

Thanks

I have used the pro-one bar on 2 bikes so far... My American iron horse and night train. Look is clean and smooth. Never had a problem and always got compliments on them. Downside is they aren't the brightest so you have to be wxtra careful. But we probably should anyway!

Well, you asked. Don't like that bar at all. I do like them relocated to the fork legs up by the tree. Important thing is it looks good to you though.

I considered those once, but was concerned about visibility.

Well, If I was actually running front sigs (not required here in MD, so I scrapped em) then I would probably get one of those. When I swapped out my trees, I was going to get the ones with the light bar built in, but got a great deal on a plain set and went that route instead.

Did you have to use a load equalizer for either bike, or is the Pro-One bar plug and play?
Thanks

Your front signals look great, what kit did you use to mount them to the lower triple tree?
Thanks

not a fan of the light bar, looks cheap, personally i like the original location. But it does depend on the type of bars i guess. Like previously said, just get whatever looks good to you.
