Default Changing signal angle in perch
Can you change the angle of the signal in the perch? I put taller bars on my Roadster so now the sigs don't face straight ahead.

Yes just loosen the lock nut in the housing and adjust to where you want it and retighten the lock nut, I think it's a torx or allen key you need.
Might be a good time to relocate them completely, but avoid the HD relocation as they stick out so far they look kind of goofy.

None taken.
The trike has a screen and those relocation brackets don't work unfortunately.
