Here's a quick mod. I wanted to move my signals but keep the reflectors - also, I park downtown Toronto, people bump my ruck daily - so i was worried about the signal stalk breaking if I did one of the other mods. So here it is: Its a piece of 1.5" x 1/8" AL flat bar bent at 2.5", 6.5", and cut off at 2.5". I had to file the middle to clear the horn mount weld, drill holes to match the original front rack mounting holes, and of course, the signal stalks. I also filed the edges of the stalk mounting holes to allow the square part of the stalk to be fully recessed.  New look:  |

Sweet! looks good. I moved mine down to the reflector mounts and shaved the original signal mounts. I like the pulled in look of the signals. Great work!

Bonus points for the JDM look?  I do think so! How would you feel about mounting from the two bolts atop the lamps? Might save one from messing with the horn (as you seem to have done) |

Nice look. Do the headlights wash out the brightness of the signals when your relocate them?

You don't have to do much if anything to the horn with that set-up. I like the look. I bet it's pretty easy to do that way also.

scootzilla: Thanks!
sr50r: those two bolts are pretty tiny! I wouldn't trust them to hold the turn signals... Also, I had moved the horn to make a cup holder - a large coffee fits perfectly in the front rack with the horn upside down (as you can see by all the spilled coffee!)
renaudruck: I have not checked for washout... maybe i should... I'll post a pic
firegut: flipping the horn is *very* easy: loosen one bolt, rotate 90deg, tighten bolt. Done! And the AL flat bar was $9 for a 36" piece (enough for 3 turn signal mods!)

I took off my big bug eyed headlights today, and moved to stock turn signals too. I still need to drill a couple holes to make sure its secure, but im too lazy right now. I also have the monster eye from battlescooter comin in the mail, which will look totally sweet. ;D   |

Just so you know there is a spot inside the battery box for the horn. Where those 3 small slots are.
And can you really fit a basketball under the stock seat?

atleastbehandy, just a suggestion, I'd paint the bracket black to give it that finished look. Looks good though! Im thinking of using your idea. Thanks!
