So instead of paying anywhere between $30-60 for this, I'm just gonna make it... Anyone see any reason why that's not possible? It looks like a straight bracket with 2 bends and 4 drilled holes.

 

Don't see why not. Looks pretty straight forward to me. I relocated my rear turn signals near the tail light with some cheap-a$$ hack. It all came under $2 I think.

 

yea that would be simple to make, drill your holes before bending it.

 

Looks like a Viking Bag turn signal relocation kit, but mounted on the front.

I have a brand new one laying around. Viking sent me the wrong one and told me to keep it.

 

Bending 1" Aluminum stock with a little torch and a bench vise. Aluminum is strong, lightweight, won't "rust", and paint-able. It can be polished to resemble chrome, if paint/powder coating isn't your thing. Angle Aluminum is set over the vise's jaws to prevent scratches and a flat bar was used to fold the heated stock to the desired angle. When it's hot, it bends with little effort:


Not CNC precision, but close enough. Notice, the ends are different lengths. I let them go long, drilling the mounting holes then shaping the ends' radii with a belt sander to the proper length:


Polished, for my camper's sewer-hose box:

 

The only issue is making yourself harder to see

 

those little lights aren't doing anything for visibility..plus, the HID kit is inbound.

 

new problem arose... after a 2nd look, my DK highway peg mounts are in the way.... they are all the way back to the the exhaust but it still doesn't clear enough for this... grrr .. need some new ideas.

 

How about a photo

 

I think they actually are MORE noticeable because they arent washed out by the headlight.
I just mounted mine right to one of the bolts of the FWD controls. Did need a longer bolt and a spacer.
