Hey all,

I've been very pleased with my Memphis Slim shade ever since I figured out the mount for it, but I don't like the turn signals down on the forks. (You have to relocate them when using the MS screen.) The MS relocation kit just doesn't look quite right.

I'd like to mount the turn signals up on the handlebars in front of the grips a-la the Bonnieville America. Has anyone else pondered this idea? I haven't examined an America to see if OEM parts could simply clamp on to my Adventurer, but I somehow doubt it would be that simple.

I'm pretty sure the BA has 1" bars, and your Adventurer has 7/8", so no it's probably not a bolt-on.

But there are a ton of metric cruiser accessory sites out there, I'd bet one of them has something that will work... just have to put some google time in

I've been pondering this as I want do a memphis fats on my adventurer. I've looked at some of the mirror mounted turn signals, but they start @ $200... Just a thought.


It all may be a non-point soon for me, I've found a '96 Trophy 3 I've taken a liking to, The Adventurer may be going bye-bye for a new girl... I'd love to have both, but I don't have the space right now (garage in planning phase -still 2 years away...). :???:
