Default Help, Turn Signal Relocate

Hi, Having a little trouble figuring out how to install the front turn signal mounts i just got. I bought the Arlen Ness 12-738 Mounts. I own a '07 XL1200N I figured out how to mount them on the fork, but having trouble attaching the light to the mount. Has anyone bought these, or know how to install them. Could not find any installation instructions, and didn't come with any. Here is a link to the mounts: http://shop.arlenness.com/p-6848-tur...39mm-41mm.aspx

Just called Arlen Ness. The kit doesn't come with bolts to mount the light to the mount. The guy told me to buy a 5/16" bolt 3/4" long. I was told the reasoning behind not having the bolt in the package is because there are so many styles of lights. I hope this thread helps people out in the future. Sorry for posting this in the softail forum even though i'm a sporty owner.

Unless the sporty is different from a softail that bolt needs is a fine thread not coarse. Relocated my fronts last month and had trouble finding fine threaded rod for fork mounts with detatchable windshield.
