Indicator Lights Relocate HELP!!!
So I relocated my indicator lights to my triple trees when I installed new Bars/Risers...problem is I CAN'T SEE THEM through the speedo/handlebar clamp.
I dont want to put them into a handlbar clamp as the back and wires would be exposed and ugly. a Custom Bezel or clamp perhaps?
I have searched high and low trying to find a custom bracket or SOMETHING to no avail.
Any ideas????
Any help appreciated!

Are you saying you mounted your indicators like this.....
If so then you can raise them up using some sockets and longer bolts. I can see mine okay (and I have 3" risers now) but in reality why do you need to see them? You can lean fwd. if need be to glance at them. I seldom ever look at mine except when i turn the key and get on I glance to make sure its still in neutral before starting.

Turn Signal Indicators are the ONLY reason really. I NEVER want one ON when I am NOT Turning...good way to get Dead.
Leaning Froward is what I do now...but that's a pain in the ****!
Thanks for the input. I like your idea but I have 6-1/2" risers....won't work for my setup...too tall.

Signals cut off automatically and not something I personally worry about.
Have you thought of just making a bracket from alum. (hack/jig saw and drill needed) and just flipping them to the backside and bolt them between your handlebar clamps.
Where's your speedo? If you posted some pics of your riser, bar and speedo setup we could better give ideas.
