Default Fatboy blinker relocation question

Seen a few different ideas on relocation, as I was looking behind the front cowling noticed two holes perfectly placed where I could stick my blinkers. They'd be below the headlight just inside each cowbell, I've got smaller aftermarket led lights. I did a quick search and couldn't find if there were any laws about location of front blinkers. They would be about 5-6" apart. Anyone use this location?

I put mine on the forks. I used mounting studs from a 98wideglide I had laying around. I got 2, 2 inch 5/16 24 bolts cut the threaded part off. Used red locktite to insert into the stud. Blue to mount on bike. You have to cut the wires, install lights to bike and splice wires back together. Painless job.

Here's a good thread with pics and directions. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...with-pics.html

I was thinking about moving my rear blinkers in the future for a better saddlebag location, any ideas there?
