Road Glide replacement front turn signal (directionals)

I have a 2008 FLTR and am looking for replacement smaller LED signals for the front run/turn. I am going to replace the whole back assembly (brake, turns and license plate) with the Cycle Vision Eliminator and want to replace the front turn signals with some thing smaller. I can not find anything except for just retro fit LEDs that just use the stock bullets. I have thought about just taking the stocko nes off and using mirrors with them built in or the one from Pro1 that mounts between the forks but can only find stainless steel plates to cover the stock holes and I do not think that will look very good.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

I'm pretty sure Cycle Visions makes a headlight bezel that has built in LED turnsignals. Klock Werks sells it for sure.

I haven't seen anything that looks clean to eliminate the crash bar. If you find something, post it up.

Yes, I know about the Bezel that Cycle Vision makes with led turn signals on the side. From what I have researched they get washed out with the headlights and you still have the issue with the holes in the fairing where the oem turn signals where removed. Plus I think I am going to go with the SE Bezel that elminates the bubble headlight cover.

There are pleanty of places that make support bars that replace the whole crash bar....not sure if I am going to do that or not at this point. I do not think the oem crash bars looks that bad plus they are great protection. This may change if I move the floorboards further forward and they start to get in the way but they may not happen due to there is not an extended brake lever that is more than 1" longer and that is the E-Z Brake. So there is really no sence in moving the floorboards further than 1" forward if you can not find a brake lever longer than 1". Plus if the crash bar was gone you could not have lowers which are in the future as well...Hoggchops, just waiting to see if he is every going to make the glove boxes for them.

The mirrors with turn signals sounds like a good solution, & for the holes left by the stock units, just use the metal plates you've found but paint 'em........

Just a bump, I know someone has replaced the front turn signals on a RG.

OK, since it looks like I will have to use the block off plates and go with turn signal mirrors or something between the forks, does anyone have some pics of the plates mounted painted or left chrome?
