Out of all the different ways to relocate or change turn indicators I thought these from Bella Corse were pretty cool. They warn that you can't install these on closed end stock bars but couldn't you just drill or chop the ends of the bars off?

If you chop your bars, you will wish you had bar end mirrors, because you will get nothing but a view of your arms. Drill them out. Tapered spiral reamers work the smoothest, IMO.

That's what I was thinking Ryk. You're the man. Do you think they will work with ISO grips?

how would those be held in place? You won't be able to get to the nut in order to swell the rubber insert if i see that correctly, unless you cut another whole just big enough to get small plyers or something in there, or gluer them in?

I have bar end signals on my pseudo bobber with Iso grips, but they marry up with the Kury Iso s bolt pattern in lieu of caps. I vote you can make them work, just make sure you hone out the threaded plugs to a minimum inside diameter for the expanders on your signals. They look really nice, post a picture when your done.

Here are some pictures of the ISO grip led lights I installed. They function as yellow running lights and will flash as turn signals. Got them from New Bonneville but they have them listed as discontinued however on THIS LINK they are still showing them as available.

Hi Greg

They look pretty sweet. Would you consider using them as your primary turn signals as opposed to just using as running lights? The cost is about twice as much as the ones I posted but, for a plug and play deal it would probably be worth the extra bucks.
