Alternative turn signal relocation kit
I've been looking into saddlebags and one of the things that has always bugged me is how cheesy the Harley turn signal relocation kit is. So, when I got a catalog from Leatherworks, they included a picture of this relocation kit:

It looks a LOT better than the Harley kit. The price is a few bucks more, but for something that looks better $25 shouldn't be that big a deal. Has anyone actually bought these or put these on their motorcycle? I'm just wondering if they really work out as well as they look in the picture.
I'm trying to set up this whole saddlebag solution so that they are removeable and so that I can return the bike to fairly pure look, and I hate replacing the cool "wing" style of the turn signal posts with the weak chrome post with a bolt on the end look of the Harley kit.

The major problem I have with both the standard and layback relocation kits I've seen from HD is that the lights are on that round bar they provide, that also has exposed nuts that "tighten" the light on to the bar. The exposed nut between the light and relocation bar just looks a little ghetto to me. I might be a bit picky, but that's just been my personal issue with the HD relocation kits, and one of the reasons I sorta like this one. It just seems like this relocation kit looks more "integrated" with the motorcycle.
Oh well, I was just curious to know if anyone had ever used this kit I ran across, just so I could make sure there isn't some hidden gotcha I might run across with it. At the moment I'm inclined to return the relocation kit I bought a couple weeks back but have not installed yet in favor of this option, or something else. If the one ****** posted the picture of is available someplace, I like it as well.

Not sure what year you bike is, but I took the kit for an 04, modified it and installed on my 01. I like to loos if the signals at the license plate and they do not interfere with any bag I install now.

HD Sportster bags on my '04 Sporty.....believe the lights are in the original location. Took a litle gruntin' to get the top snaps closed but once the bags settled in the snaps are easy now.
