Im in the process of chopping and dropping my rear fender. I just used my stock sigs, minus the spacers. I just left a little extra strut, drilled appropriate size hole and bought shorter bolts.

Really simple! its just a piece of all-thread that goes thru the axle. Just screw the lights to the all-thread!

That is a really cool set-up. But, how do you keep the cables going to the signals from coming in contact with the tire? Seems threading them down that far would increase risk...

Didn't realize there was threading in the axle. Do you know what size of all-thread I should look for?

You can kinda see in the pic that the wire goes up the rear shock and into the inside of the fender. It really doesn't come close to the tire. I haven't any problems...(YET)!!!

Well, the axle is hollow. I'm not sure of the thread size. If you take your tail lights off, just take the mounting bolt to the hardware store and match it to a piece of all-thread. Cut it to size, unbolt bottom of shocks (on a lift), and just screw the taillights onto the all-thread in opposite directions and plug 'em back in! And there you have it! Rear signal relocation kit for about $6!!!

Hi there, don't you guys have these on ya new harley's in the USA?
It's a led brake light in the middle and brake light around the outside.
The bottom ones off a 10 plate, same thing just brake light is off set.
I love em, no extra brake light, really tidys up the rear end.
Just got a set of short stems to bring them in nearer the bike. Will look great

I been thinkin about doin somethin diffrent with my rear signals and brake light as well....was thinking that i would get some signals for the front end and use them on the back with red bulbs....block off where the factory tail/brake light is...and just use the 2 signals as brake/tail/turn. anyone done this before?
dont think it would be hard to do at all
