Default Rear signals
Anyone know if there are shorter stalks available for the rear signals on an 05 1200C? I like the look of the stock ones, would just like ones about half the length. Thanks for the help.

Yes and no. JPcycles has short ones like for the Dyna/Softail and some have been able to make them fit and others say no. I know they look tons better but if you have docking hardware by chance like I do they would not work. Another solution is getting the chrome spacers the length you want and just using a shorter bolt with your stock signals (unfortunately the wire will stick out) or just get smaller, tigher signals.

Yeah, I saw one set at JP for 73-99 XL models. They look similar, but not sure they'll fit.

If I recall someone shaved the backside a little like a tab or something that made them fit and they looked good. But with docking hardware the lens or if you have visors on the signals will hit the docking bolt.

i was looking for shorter stalks also cause i bought the 59 caddy taillights sidemount. with that the the rear signals it just didn't look right.
ended up buying 2 4.5" amber LED strips and gonna mount them under my chopped rear fender.

Check out the signals from a V-Rod. They are short as crap.
