I pulled the trigger! 2007 Softail Custom FXSTC
#61
Pacific Blue Pearl is the prettiest color they EVER made the FXSTC in. Don't know if they offered that in 07 though. I know they did in 08.

Congrats on the new ride, I 'may' be considered prejudiced because I have one too.
But IMHO it's one of, if not the best looking bikes HD has ever made.
As for the turn signals you can easily go one of two ways.
HD makes a relocation kit, but its not in my opinion as nice as a set of fork tube clamps you can get off e-bay for a lot less.
Here's a pic I took of mine with the HD kit on the left side (right in pic) and the tube clamp mount I got off e-bay for under $25 on the right side (left in pic).
In the pic its real easy to see how far out the HD mounts pushes the lights and if you get close to them its east to see how they don't 'fit' around the side/end of the tree as snugly as I like.
I'm sorry I can't remember if I had to take the connector apart to do the relocating, I think you do, but if you do here's a pic of the connector to help you get the wires back in the right place.
And if you don't like the way the wires look, check out the DIY thread at the top of the page.
I put a write up in there showing how to cover them up with some mesh to make them look a little nicer.
Stock turn signal wire on the left and my mesh covered one on the right.
Too bad you didn't get the stock seat with it, your wife would have LOVED it, mine does.
So I'm stuck with it, but its OK, I like how it feels too.
Good luck and ride safe.

Just a side note. If you get the HD quick detach windshield it comes with the turn signal re locators on the right. I like the ebay one but wont work with some wind shields. FWIW.

Oh OK, thats good to know, I am probably not going to get a windshield, I just really like the way the bike looks without it.
