Hi,

I have these installed, so in case it helps here's a few shots of how they look mounted:





As you can just make out in the last photo, the kit comes with a relocation bracket to mount the turn signals by re-using the stock rear fender. This does require extending the wiring for at least one of the turn signals.

HTH, Pete
