Yes, I agree it looks better on the fork. Much cleaner.

Post some pics of your install. Would like to see what you used if you did not use a relocation kit.

With my stock bars the signals were halfway hidden behind my fairing. With new High Drags they're completely hidden. I ordered these yesterday:

They were cheap enough that if I don't like them I can live with the hit of getting something else. Haven't figured out how the signal mounts yet but looks like lens will pop off and bolt directly through the housing.

Good luck with your install. Yes a pretty inexpensive mod. Post some pics when you are done.

Don't even think you need to pop off the lens since the bolt that goes into the turn signal does not have a nut securing the bolt. Yes a direct bolt on....just tightened the turn signal to the mount at desired angle before you secure the clamp to the fork.

The bolts that come with the fork clamps does have a nut, hopefully just screws in though. I'll have to look at it, should be here mid-week.

eBay garbage clamp stripped out before even close to tight. Ordered the Drag Specialties ones referenced in this thread.

When I relocated my Softail front signals, I wanted the wires to be exposed as little as possible. I used a different style of clamp and the housings from rear turn signals, which are designed to have the wire go through a hollow bolt/stand-off. I notched the bottom of the clamp and hid the wire to the housing.

That's because they were not mounted on the controls area like most Sportsters. Yours were already mounted on the top portion of the tree using the HD brackets.
