Ok, so here we go. i bought the BC turn signal relocation kit, not knowing that you can't use them as intended with highway bars. i don't like the BC's turned backwards. i HATE the rivco re-locators. soooo, what i am left with is this question. does anyone have an 07 or older TBA AND a 2011 or newer TBA that they could look at their front turn signal bar and see if it would fit the older bike. OR does any one know if there is another brand (honda shadow, etc) front turn signal bar, that could be modded to fit our bikes?

I fabbed the brackets myself, but they are similar to store bought, as are yours and I got the skinny turn signals from Poland on EBay for $23 and ship. I managed to get 1/4" clearance on the crash bars at lock. Click the pics and they get a little bigger.

Ryk, either my connection is bad, or imgjoe.com is using a 33.6 modem for their connection LOL. i can't see your pics. however. are you saying that the BC brackets will work depending on the turn signal? not in love with the black signals...but,..

I'm not a fan of these signals, so much myself, but I found out after I spent the afternoon making up/installing the brackets, that the black nickel bullet signals I had wired up were in spatial interference at lock with the blippity crash bars I installed that AM. So, yes, the point of the post is merely that these Euro looking signals will clear the crash bar by (.250").
