    I made my own setup for relocating the T-signals on my springer. Was fun trying to figure it out but works well. Found a way to put em under the spots.

    No, I have an idea for some turn signals I want to make with LEDs. I've had front turn signals every which way on my bike - stock (the big round ugly ones handing from the bottom of the mirrors), then the bullet style on stems that clamped onto the forks, then on stems that attached to the bolts on the bottom of the triple trees, then LEDs in the backs of mirrors, then... well that was the last one. The mirrors stick up kind of high, and with the apes, it's all wrong. Besides, when the friend put them on, one of them never worked. I said screw it and looked at some other options, one of which cost over $250 for these little LED lit collars that attach to the front forks. I have a better idea. I just need to make them.

    Oh, and thanks Chuck. :rolleyes:

    Chuck does have a good eye. But I think bigger photos would help considerably!

    They used to hang off the ends of the handle bars but with the apes I put on it it don't look so good. So I drooped em down low. Your probably right about them being below the spots, could be hard to see at night. :D

    Did you have that stashed somewhere?:roflmao:

    I wish the paint still looked that good, but I guess I'd rather have the experiences of the 35,000 or so since then.

    Those turn signals look really good down there. Everybody should see 'em just fine. If they don't, they shouldn't be driving!
