Turn signal mounting brackets
May have to go a different direction on mounting my turn signals because of clearance. I was thinking of moving them to the swing arm if necessary. I've Googled "turn signal mounting brackets" and haven't found anything that I like. I'm looking for some vendors other than JP Cycle that might have a selection of universal brackets...any help is appreciated.
I got rid of my rear bullets and used a couple of 2" long led strips from custom dynamics that I mounted on top of the swing arm. I have since removed them, but they were on for a couple years with no issues. Not the most visible solution, but it hid them pretty well, and total cost was around $40.

What kind of lights?
Made my own. I'm a cheap guy though.
Took a thin strip of metal, drilled three holes, two for the strut mount bolts and one for the light.
Couple of pics. Looking at the pics now, I realize I have to hide the wire a little better.

I like the idea...I think I've decided to drill the strut and mount the signals through the strut.

Have you considered replacing the factory bullets with the kind that fit the end of the fender strut?
They use LED's so they are brighter than their small size might indicate.
The down side is they are not very cheap and you'll probably need to add in an equalizer to the circuit to make the flashers work properly.
Here's one to give you an idea what they look like.
If you look around I'm sure there are others from other makers.
