The turn signals are modified so that they can be mounted closer inboard. | 
This is the stock configuration |
|
|
Yet, they are far enough rearward to be very visible even with the hard
cases mounted.
Note the length of the pannier mounting support. It has been cut back, end cap reused, and bumper moved to it's new position. Be sure to blow out any metal shavings that may fall into the support bracket. |
The first step is to remove the turn signal from the supports. Disassemble and remove the cables completely. With a saw cut the angle as shown. Be sure not to cut so deep that it falls apart. |

| It must be noted that this modification may make your signals violate DOT laws regarding the mounting of turn signals. And while the panniers mount securely - it no longer meets the manufacturer's design specifications and thus no guarantee can be made as to their integrity (although the bike has been over 115MPH with the bags on and no visible damage). However, do these modifications at your own risk! | ||
