Default Front Turn Signal Question

Was curious if anybody could point me in the right direction for shortening up the front turn signals on my tree.

I have a 2005 Sporty XL1200C with the front turn signal relocation. I just don't like how far out they stick from the tree. Was hoping to suck them in a little closer to the bike.

Thanks

TD

If you have the HD relocation kit, J&P makes one that does not stick out as far. You could also go to tube clamp style mounts.

I have these:

They fit way closer. I'd post up a pic, but I just got them on a couple weeks ago and I don't have any yet. I had mine PC'd black.

I have the HD kit on my 1200 C and they do stick out a bit far, but on that bike I don't care-I have them on the upper tree. I have the clamp style kit on my XL50 from J&P Cycle and they look great! They put the signals in 1" closer than the HD kit and just have a nice look to them. I have them mounted right below the upper tree. As you can see I like my front signals up by the headlight. The kit form J&P is for the 39mm forks and they are like $32.99 plus shipping.
