looking good Still have the rear to finish but that is going to be easy. Really like the way this project is turning out. Did notice that Truimph took the time to black out the turn signals on the Bobber but not the Rocket X? You would think that after they got done with the Rocket X project that Maybe just one of those High paid college Morons would have looked and said "something ain't right" Oh well life goes on. Made the front bracket at work (stainless steel) Buffed out to the max. #hit canned the stock mounting brackets. No matter what you do a turd is a turd. (ugly) Yes No CHINESE parts were used in this project. All American made. (Alern Ness)
I have spent a lot of time searching the net with no luck on fork relocation brackets for turn signals that fit the Rocket. Very disappointed in what is offered. I guess only Harley riders matter. Working on a making brackets that replaces the stock turn signal brackets. Hate after thought projects and do not plan on it looking like one. Don't like the idea of fork mount anyhow. You would think that a bike that has been in production for over ten years somebody would have picked up this already. Have a lot of resources and when the time comes will post the results. Since the Bike is a Rocket X having chrome turn signals really looks stupid. Who would have thought turn signals would be such a 7itch .
Hey Sonny...my led's are a bit similar to yours and i had a head scratcher trying to figure what i would do for "stalks" for the rear.
I dismantled the original rear stalks and inside the chrome bit is a rubber stalk. After quite alot of deliberation, i cut those rubbers and used them to extend the lights out far enuff to clear every thing. I had some steel "L" shaped brackets which i bolted under the guard and attached the stalks and wiring to them.
I really like this look. How visible are the front and rear signals outside in the daytime? Could you send me or post a link to where you got the rear and front signals, please?

The front ring LEDS are from New Rage Rage360 Turn Signals
You would need the 58 mm size They appear brighter than the stocks. They have 40 LEDs per side.
The instructions take a simple job and make it sound complex. They tell you to take off the rear fender and unplug the rear section of the wiring harness when you install. You dont have to. Just get under the old girl and remove the whole turn signal/plate holder part. Cut the wires to the rear signals and join the wires from the new part with a posilock or but end connector and you're done. There a guy on you tube who installs one on a Victory. Follow that.
The upper fronts are Magic spots from LED Magic Spots
These arent super bright in daylight which is why I added the rage 360 rings which are super bright.
Remember to remove the battery before you start, wire it all in , replace the battery and test , then tape it/cable tie it away. Learned that the hard way.

I swapped all mine out for LED's from Radiantz last winter, went with fork wraps in the front (just above the lower fork brace) and built a fiberglass shelf on the bottom edge of the rear fender to flush mount a run/brake/turn strip on the back and moved the plate up onto the fender.
