Rivco split mount front turn signal relocators

Has anyone used these on their America?? I have a 2009 (larger diameter fork tubes)....my concern do they anchor down okay or do the turn easily????

Another option

British Customs sell these as another option.

British customs does indeed sell front turn signal mounts, they advertised them as a "kit", beware, it's not a kit ! Just the mounting bracket, you have to machine or otherwise come up with a the
stems to mount the signal pods. Rivco on the other hand comes
complete with everything you need to install, including instructions
for splitting the wire loom, and mount very securely.

Thanks for the headsup....I haven't heard anybody say anything bad about the Rivco kit..I am also looking at the complete light set up from new Bonneville...however not sure if the small square lights appeal to me..sound like the Rivco may be the cheapest and easiest way to go....Thanks again!

I bit the bullet and bought a pair of the Rivco's from FastEddy about 6 weeks ago. They were easy to fit and as yet have not moved at all.

Good luck with which ever you choose

Umm, not sure I understand your message here? What do you mean by 'Just the mounting bracket, you have to machine or otherwise come up with a the stems to mount the signal pods.' My understanding is that they attach under the yoke and fit to the fork shroud bolts? I have just ordered a set, so hopefully this is the case
