Default Want to replace stock turn signals

I am not crazy about the stock turn signals on my 2000 sportster, any ideas on who I can turn to (no pun intended) for some cool sleek looking signals? I have beensearching but can't seem to find much, thanks for any help!

OOOOPS! I should have been more specific, I really want to replace the rear signals first then see what I can do about the front.

J&P, Dennis Kirk, Drag Specialties all have them. Also try eBay. That's where I got new front turn signals for my wife's '94 883.

Be more specific......Lots of options.

Do you want to completely change shape and location of rear signals of just modify what you got to look really different?

I don't like the large diameter lights that stick out 3-4 inches from the fender, I would like something more low profile that would go in the same spot as the originals. The signals on a 94 or newer sportster seem smaller I could go that way if they would fit on my 2000.

Well...............You might wanna consider the new nightster signals and do away completely with your taillight.....The Nightster turns work like brake and turns without center tail light.

It really boils down to the TOTAL look you are wanting to achieve......Start with the tin and the lines you gotta have then adapt the required stuff like license and turns.

The stock signals on a '94 and newer sportster are HUGE as seen in this picture. I relocated the stockers on the rear of my '96 to sit directly on my fender struts. Here's a few pics.




I still didn't care for the look of the signals so I switched to mini bullets. I found em on ebay. They are about an inch in diameter and three inches in length. I have relocated the front signals to the lower triple trees. The rear signals are in the stock location. I don't have any pics of the rears at this time. Here's a pic of the front view.

Oh BTW the signals are very bright. I had to install a load equalizer in-line for the signals to still blink. I used a Badlands load equalizer II which was recommended by my local HD dealer. If I remember correctly they only charged me $36 including tax for the unit and it was well worth it. Easy to install as well.
