front signal relocation road king custom
so i've been looking for a reasonable way to relocate the front turn signals on the road king custom. after waffling back and forth on the hd 'custom touring bullet front turn signal kit' i decided to bite the bullet and go for it. having the new bike discount didn't hurt either. in general, i'm very pleased with the set up. i was worried that the detachable windshield would not be compatable with the kit. the dealer wasn't sure either, so he said if it didn't work, i could return the kit.
well, it did work. the turn signal brackets mount on top of the windshield rubbers so the windshield bracket goes between the turn signal and the forks. sounds funky, but actually works pretty good. i would have liked a different way, but this seems to work good and does not look terrible either. definitely way better than the signals hanging off the handlebar.
oh, by the way. i checked in the parts manual with the instruction kit and the parts are the same stock parts as on the street glides. i checked the individual parts from the glide against the kit, and the kit comes out about 10 bucks cheaper.
kit number was 69577-06, msrp 149.95 (111.00 from zanottis). install time about an hour, taking your time.

Nice job. I did the same kit on my 07 FLHRS, along with WildChubby's & braided lines.
Love the look of the Custom with this upgrade, real clean look.
Ride safe.

RE: front signal relocation road king custom
Actually, while I've left mine on the end of the bars at present, I've considered the relocation. After putting Wind One 518s (Chubby II) bars on last year, all the wiring is inside except for the Turn Signal wires -- no decent way to run them inside without looking rube goldberg. Getting rid of those wires would clean things up.
