Default Front directional relocation

Have any of you dropped your OEM front directionals to your forks? I ordered some but they were too small. I don’t care to keep doing the trial an error purchases.

For the yokes that take 39mm tubes there is a relocation kit because I have used it on a 2008 Custom. If you want an even more expensive kit you could piece together the parts that are used on the Superlow.

Front Directional Relocation Kit - 68517-94A | Harley-Davidson USA (harley-davidson.com)

You don't say what year bike or fork size you have?

You could go through this lot and see if something fits

Default Relocation on 2001

Relocated mine this summer.
Really like having them down and out of the way. Didn't like them up on the handle bars.

Got these off Amazon..

Thanks guys my bike uses the 39mm size. I tried to get smaller bullets along with after market mounts, didn’t go well. I just ended up buying the Harley relocation kit. Took me a long tome to do this relocation but seems like everyone else is happy with it so it convince me to do mine, I’m sure I’ll enjoy the cleaner handlebars.

Try DK Cusyoms. They have some great looking signal lights that go on the fork tubes

I use the Harley kit it was super easy. you use your existing lights/blinkers/directionals or whatever you want to call them and you install them on some extenders that come with the kit down there on either the upper or lower fork tree

Which aftermarket versions did you try ? These Arlen Ness versions
appear to be well constructed, but I have not tried them...

Picked up a bracket from eBay that turnout out to be too small, etc so I just went with what Harley had. Bought them from Utah Harley Davidson. I saw the one you posted but I thought those were LED lights.
