Fork leg turn signal clamps 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
Does anybody know of any turn signal clamps that would fit the roadstars fork legs?

All the info I can get says the fork legs are 43mm, but all the fork leg turn signals seem to be made for 39, 41 or 49mm fork legs.

Or if you have any other ideas for mounting front turn signals, that would be greatly appreciated... I'm looking at removing the stock headlight so need ideas on what to do with the turn signals.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I'm looking for the same thing. All I found was two of them. Arlen Ness makes a set and so does Tomahawk. Arlen Ness ones are 90.00 and the Tomahawk is 160.00. I'm still looking because those prices are too much for what the part is. Google 43mm turn signal mounts and you will find them.

I dremeled the light bar down on both sides and situated the oem blinkers in front of there respective forks and connected the blinker to the shortened bar with an electrical coupling with set screws in it, works great, $2 investment, you can put the tree cover back on, or, I wrapped mine in Black Leather

There are also chrome covers for the lower tree that have turn signals on them. I think Kuryakyn has them. They also have mounts that you can mount on your forks without the tins...

here is a really sweet set, cost though!!!! $259.99

Re:Fork leg turn signal clamps 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
Thanks for all the replies guys... I had seen the ones from radiantz that cost way too much. I like the custom dynamics ones but still a bit pricy at 100 bucks for two indicators. Might have to see if I can fab up something similar to the thunderbike brackets. Budget as always is King in my world

jamie99roadstar >> Yours look interesting. Always thought you had the radiantz ones.
