I think you might have clearance issues if you mount them at top tree. I'm not sure but I think I read somewhere that they might hit the gas tank.

ok cause i have seen these simple kits were it's a bolt and you can mount it at the top triple tree.. the only reason is i have a quarter fairing arlen ness and i don't want the turn signals to be lower then the fairing i think it would look a little off

If you have clearance issues just drop it to the tree, you will look fine. when testing the clearance just do it slowly....

The bolt kit setup your talking about only works with certain years because of the design of the recess in the triple tree where the bolt threads in to tighten the pinch clamp. Wouldn't work on your year bike. I have the same kit you do and I put them right above the lower tree and since the tree is chrome as well as the kit it blends really well so I would say try it out there and see if you like it. Its a clamp style housing so you can move it up or down later on to where you like the look of.

If your talking about the clamp style for 49mm forks - HD P/N 69433-08A and if you shop around online can find them for about $70 or maybe less here in the states. I got mine used on here for less. I like them cause it keep the stock bullets but puts them down front instead of hanging of the handle bars and the clamps feel pretty solid so no worries about cheapo crap causing you to lose the turn signals going down the road.
