Default '48' Front Turn Signal Relocation

Hi Guys

I've just got my new 48 and I now want to start personalizing it, one of the things I want to do is relocate the front turn signals to the triple trees, HD do a kit for other Sportster models but not the 48, so how are you other guys doing it?

Spence.

Mine came from the factory with the signals there already, and was under the impression that they all came that way?

congrads on the 48.
even the uk 48 as the front sigs mounted already on the trees.
do you mean, relocate to bottom of the trees ? if so, just file the lug off the mounts you have.

Could mean relocate from the trees to bars?

Sorry guys meant to say the lower trees, reading the replies it seems that I will have to file the lugs off, just wodered if there was a way of doing it without in case I ever want to move them back.

spence,

if you file lug off the mount to relocate to lower trees and dont like them there.
they will go back on the upper tree without the lug.
