Is there an aftermarket part to fit the Front turn signals to the fork... but not on the tubes.Anywhere around the light beam? Cause I really don't like it on the handlebars.

I got these from newspeedmaster as well, also moves the headlight forward an inch or 2, which I like the look of. 
What it can't reach it spits at.

Are those actually useful? I would think you'd be better off just removing the signals altogether. You could use the money you save to increase your medical coverage.

I made up this bracket which utilizes a couple of rear turn signals. I also hang my tool bag off of it in the front, which works out well.

I make my own parts cause I cant afford to buy theirs.

That's interesting...
Here the story : I ordered the Rivco Relocator for 2007+, but I took out the fork tube covers, so the brackets don't fit... I shouldn't have taken the picture as a reference ( the picture is a 2006- bike with smaller tube covers, so it looked like the brackets would fit to the fork tube ). Anyways... now that I got the brackets ( and obviously can't send them back ), I am trying to find a way to use them, and I've come up with an idea. I could take the rubber seal from the cover, mount it on the tube, and then make a silicone ( any other recommandations for this please ) joint to fill and kinda glue the bracket ( 70mm opening ) to the rubber that slips on the tube.
From there, if it holds tight, I just have to adjust the height of the bracket safe to where the lower yoke won't hurt it from our pityfull road here 
What do y'all think?

Still on the handlebars, but I was gonna change the mirrors anyway and decided I could kill 2 birds with one stone.

Thanks! One thing I didnt mention is that I bought four light strips so that thay can still be seen really well from the front and side.

Soren,
Were you able to wire those straight in, without any other mods? (i.e. relay) I was under the impression that if you changed to LED's there were some other requirements as well. I'm hoping that I am mistaken because I really like the way yours look.

YEs, I replaced them directly. I did buy some connectors from a local electronics store so I could plug them into the stock connectors. I did also buy a LED Flasher (CF13GL-02). Soren

for the not so electrically minded, the LED Flasher is used in place of an existing flasher is it? and I dont need to worry about load equalisers etc?
Also is it simply a matter of unplugging indicator bulb and plugging in a same fit LED bulb.

You are exactly right about the flasher. Because I am running LEDs both front and back, I actually took out the indicator bulb on the dash. Sandmann has a work around on his web site, but I decided to just discard the indicator bulb since my front turn signals are bright enough for me to notice when the turn signals are on. Soren Soren

The dash flasher signal is really hard to see in the day time, and so are your flashers... At night time, you don't really need the dash indicator, you see that they actually flash. Is that some kind of a legal thing?

It might be a legal thing for OEMs to have them stock, but I dont think it is a have have thing after you buy the bike.

Sorry wont be purchasing bracket I figure cost for shipping to the UK would be expensive & I thought the name of the game was to share good idea, practices with others and not just for self gain. I have in the past manufacture brackets for use on America and passed drawings to others so that all can benifit not profit.
Regards
