Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Strut mounted turn signals relocation and options

I am looking relocate the rear turn signals (after market Zodiac Bullets) on my 07 Speedy to the rear fender struts and instal a Z-Man lay down plate kit to clean up the rear end.

I have a couple of queries/issues:

There are two options for strut mount bolts from British Customs, rear strut bolt and front strut bolt kit.

The fiancé wants me to purchase a sissy bar and rack after our first ride together last weekend (which I would like to remove when she is not on the bike) So in this instance the front strut bolt mounting option makes sense as the sissy mount uses the rear 2 strut bolts. This way I wouldn't have to remove the signals everytime I take it off.

The only potential issue I can see with this is will the passengers legs clash with the the turn signals mounted on the front strut bolts?

Does anyone have any experience with either of these options that they could shed some light on?

i just sat on the back of mine and unless you're engaged to a dwarf, there shouldn't be a problem. they'll be right behind her knees.

thing is, i was looking for those on their page and couldn't find them. can you provide a link to the item rather than a pic?

Ok that sounds promising, she is no dwarf at 165cm (5'6") and quite slim.

BC's link is broken and has been for a while. I have been in touch with Eddy from Fast eddy Sports and he can source the bolts direct from BC and has just listed them for me:

Hope that helps.

indeed it does, thanks!

only thing i would be concerned with is people behind you not seeing the signals when you are riding two up? I suppose you can arm signal, but its a thought to consider. Saftey first! LOL

shouldn't be a problem, what with both our girlfriends being not very robust. then again, i almost always use indicators and arm signals anyway.

We both sat on the bike last night and the signals sit just behind her legs and cause minimal interference with the pillion unless she has the balls of her feet on the pegs rather then the middle of her foot. Definitely can be seen from behind too.

I said it was the price to pay for wanting a sissy bar so that I could easily remove it - she was reasonable happy with the compromise.
