Quick question, how much relocating or rewiring of turn signal wires was required. I assume you have to run the wires through the forks somehow?

I did this exact mod last year with the same parts. I bought all mine at Value Hardware Store, cost was less than 10 bucks, but I also added auto rubber caliper bolt covers to the studs.

I have a general signal question for the ones that hang down from the controls. Do the pegs that go up into the hole on the controls unscrew from the signal body? Thought I'd ask before twisting away.

There is no such coupling at 1/4-16 only 1/4-20. Do you cut down or something missing from parts list

Nice home mod for sure! Figured I would post this also just in case some of you cant find the parts at your store you can always go the route of amazon for surprisingly cheap parts as well. Heres an actual fork relocation bracket that should fit just fine also.

Here is another idea if somebody does not want to fab up their own, or wants to change out the these turn signals.... they are also offered in chrome.
