I think they are worried about cruise control access clearance. I'm still going to buy them and try them out. I would rather adjust my grip to reach the cruise control than the turn signal switch.

I installed HD 16” apes, neighbor hater slip-ons and HD sissy bar. It’s 86 degrees and sunny in West Georgia today. Time to ride!

I had the turn signal extensions on a Sporty and moved them to my FLHCS, they fit fine, there just isn't a mark for the passing lamps. I think that is why they aren't listed as a true fit. No issues with access to cruise control from my experience.

Thanks...good to know! But what would the passing lamp mark have to do with the turn signal switch?

I have the turn signal extensions on my '18 Fat Bob, and I also have the cruise control, and can confirm that there's no problem with fitment or operation.

did it a while ago, but finally wrote some thoughts on it, but fitted and played with the FOBO Bike2 bluetooth TPMS system. It surprises the heck out of me that Harley don't supply this as standard (or offer it as a dealer option/retrofit) for any bike with a screen but feels like a good $99 for peace of mind (means I can check the pressure on the tires before even heading out to the garage!)

Stock switch covers have the icon for the passing lamps, the extended covers don't. Picture of my stock ones stuck in packaging of the extensions. Stock pic from Google for the extensions. If you weren't familiar with the bike you wouldn't know where the button was, I'm sure HD is doing some CYA here.

Now THERE'S an answer that finally makes sense. I'll bet you're right.

Installed the extended turn signal buttons tonight. There is a slightly longer reach to the cruise control, but I would rather have the easier reach to the turn signals.
