I remember seeing a member who make a custom bracket that mounted to the headlight mounting bloack and he ran the rear tail lights with the long mounting stems from it. Looked really sharp, but I have been searching the forums for weeks trying to find the post. Anyone remember who's nike it was and where I can find that picture.....thanks.

The rear pumpkins functioning as front turn signals would be the front turn signals on a rail. I don't remember ever seeing that. There are commercial signal relocation kits  Fasteddysports sells a nice kit. 
I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.

Its on a M109 I bet it can be retro fitted to the Triumph. That is a kickass setup IMHO. I found this one, I think looks good.

The one I saw looked like two pieces of flat aluminum stock that was bolted through the headlight mouting bolt (the horizontal bolt) and then the turn signals were bolted to the pieces of flat sock with a spacer between the two piecse to concela the wires.....it's hard to explain....lol.

I did that, the bike now belongs to Rgoldberg. God, I miss that bike. The Tiger doesn't kill my back, though, and double the horsepower eases the heartache a bit.
I did it with aluminum stock from Home Depot, nothing exotic about the engineering or the materials. Pictures were April of 2010, have since been deleted. All it involved was two pieces of flat stock with three holes in each. One hole for the now longer headlight bolt, one hole for the signal stems, and the front hole has a bolt and a bridge of aluminum tubing for rigidity. Had to slit the wiring harness sleeve, used that corrugated plastic stuff from the auto parts store and zip ties to fix it.
