Thanx for the pix rock. Looks good.
Like Jimbo says, you could shiitcan the signals and use hand signals.
I did for about the first fifteen years of ridin.
Don't remember when they started puttin em on.
It's a hassle but you do want other drivers to know what you're about to do.
Looks like mMike has the short standoffs. Doesn't look bad with the shorttailed fender.
I like some lighted indicators, so I used some small LEDs, pic below.
I also use hand signals if I see someone close behind.
Another reason I like some lights mounted, the coppers.
My policy hereis -
Never give a dog a reason to bark.
Alsopictured below are some small bullet indicator housings.

Thanks Mud, glad you like it here are some other shots.

One more sugestion for the signals, you can take off the stalks all together and replace them with 1/2" aluminum spacers.Mine are done like this and bolted to the fender. I thought it looked pretty good until I saw the short stalk kit but still a couple of aluminum spacers are damn near free and if you don't like it they're already apart you could still get the short stalk kit or **** can em all together and get some smaller signals.

That's some amazing metal work on that fender mud, did you fab that yourself?
I like the looks of the small bullet turn signals.
They are really low profile. Thanks for the ideas and pics.
