I am having trouble getting used to non cancelling turn signals as well as indicator lights that are not in my sight line. My prior bike had the indicator as part of the speedometer console so as I looked forward or at the my speed, I would notice the light. The current configuration on the tank is neither in one's line of sight or easy to see in the daylight. Its dangerous to ride with your blinker on unknowingly, I am trying to get used to constant thumb cancelation, but it's far from fool proof.
Any suggestions?

you can get a signal minder from newspeedmaster.com
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Ya , you can replace them with LED's , but then you have brightness issues at night and they still aren't all that bright in daylight . Best deal : see the above . It's a Kisan Signalminder . Good way to spend an hour , fixes yer problem .

You certainly could move or duplicate them. Seems to me i've seen a little billet led block on someone's bars.

If you pull your console off, you will be able to pull idiot lights out and put them in different holes. I swapped the hi-beam and signal indicators because the chin part of my full-face blocked view of indicator where it was. Also changed bulbs for LEDs.

If you still want to move them, consider this kind of thing from JP Cycle:  Although I swear I saw someone with a little billet strip with 4 leds mounted on their bars.

Did you see it in person? It's only available in Europe as far as I know.
Here's one of them. I can't find the other right now (it's flatter if I recall correctly).

HEY! 50 Euros = 69.36500 U.S. dollars. It isn't as expensive as I thought...

You could work with David Nyne (D9) on getting a new console cluster made for the America. He does a ton of really sweet looking gauge clusters for the Bonny crowd. Check out some of his work here: D9
