That kit that you bought looks very similar to the one I got for the Low through Ebay. But it wasn't branded Drag Specialties. Then again Drag Specialties, Roland Sands, Harley accessories, etc., don't manufacture most of their parts and outsource the stuff anyway.

Good deal. Just remember to try to adjust the signal light angle as best as you can before fitting it on the fork. Its kind of a hit and miss. If you turn the signal light to adjust after mounting it will loosen up. Been there and done that. 
You can mount them to the upper bolts too.

Those look like the set I put on my '05 883C about 5 years ago. I tightened up the radii before powder coating them black. There's a 1/2" spacer between the mounts and turn signal housings. Instead of the supplied hardware, I used polished stainless. So, a trip to the hardware store was inevitable.

@HarleyScuba - looks good with the spacers. Looks like you routed the right side down the brake line like Cool Inferno. Completed the right side relocation and that is definitely the easiest way to route the wire.

@Cool Inferno
Got the stock bolt out of the turn signal....phew. Although I did strip the allen head with my impact driver and had to use my Irwin Power-Grip bolt extractor to remove the bolt. BP blaster and some knocks did helped...at least the bolt moved. They must have used red thread lock on the bolts.
You are absolutely spot-on in your assessment. It was a little tricky to adjust the signal first then bolt on the mount. I had to remove the mounted signal 3 times for stupid reasons...wire routed through the throttle cables, wire routed around the front of the signal, signal loosened....just careless stuff that could have been avoided. If you don't slightly tilt the signal down parallel to the ground or more, you won't have room to tighten the mount as the back portion of the signal will hinder straight access to the bolt. Torqued to 32 ft lbs - done with one side. Now to lift the headlight visor to get the left side signal wire under the visor so it reaches the triple tree.
Will post some before and after pics when I am done. Thanks for the help.

Thanks Dane, it's cool that you have both options. But I'll need them low to clear my fairing.
Damn that's a clean look, love it!
