Anyone do this

I got a set of HD front signal relocators for the 08 1200C and I want to mount them on the upper tree, not the lower one like the kit calls for. I have the clamp style one's from J&P on my XL50 and I have them mounted right below the top tree and I love the looks of it-kinda like how the 48's signals are mounted. Anyone mount there's like this or have an issue with it?

I used the H-D front signal relocation mounts on my upper tree last season...worked fine for me.

Cool thanks! The only issues I can see with it is that the back of the signals might hit the tank on full lock-I have the 4.5 gal tanks and it's wider and lower than the 3.3 and the throttle cable might be in way somewhat for the rigth side. Well I'm going to install them this weekend and see.

I've been toying with the idea of relocating mine. But I just bought the Auxiliary Light Kit with the LED lamps to go with my LED headlight. So after I install it I will see what it looks like.

I have mine installed on the upper tree. Looks good IMO. No problems but I have the 3.3 gallon peanut tank.

Gotta say you have a clean, sharp looking sled. The signal lights are a nice detail that looks great. Might have to give that a whirl myself.

Well Sweet! then they are going on the upper tree tomorrow. I think they look better up there than on the lower tree-keeps are the front lights close and more even looking. Thanks for the input guys.
