Want to add turn signals, LTD, 1000, need ideas !!

Looking for ideas to add turn signals to my bike. I think I want to keep the original tail light and fender, since I will be doing a 2,000 mile trip on the bike pretty soon. I have been looking into smaller turn signals, like mini signals, I don't like the size of the original ones. But how would I mount them in the rear? Drill through my tail sections? I appreciate any ideas you might have, with photos would be even better B)
I am considering the aftermarket handle bar switches from z1enterprises, does anyone have experience with those?
Thanks for all the help from this forum, it makes a big difference!

You may want to fabricate or buy a bracket that attaches to the license plate mount and attach the turn signals to the bracket. Something similar to these....

Can fab simple bracket located underneath license tag to attach stock or aftermarket blinkers.

Keeps blinkers from interfering with fitment of soft throw-over saddle bags.
And also handy for hooking bungee cords.



Good Fortune! :)

Looks pretty good to me, definitely an option to consider, especially with the smaller signals. Nice bikes Patton, I checked out the links in your signature!
