OVERVIEW
The V-Twin 8-1/4" Short Rear Turn Signal Mounting Bracket upgrades your Harley Touring motorcycle by replacing bulky stock brackets with a compact design that creates a cleaner, more aggressive rear profile. Constructed from durable chrome-plated steel, this cosmetic hardware enhances the bike's stance while providing a corrosion-resistant finish that complements factory aesthetics. Engineered as a direct replacement for FLT Tour Glide configurations, it eliminates excess tail length for a sharper look without complex fabrication.
ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE
This shortened bracket reduces rear overhang by approximately 4-3/4 inches compared to factory specifications, pulling the turn signal housing closer to the fender for improved visual proportion and reduced snag risk. The chrome-plated steel construction resists environmental wear, maintaining its luster and structural integrity under vibration and road exposure during daily riding. Installation operates as a straightforward bolt-on procedure, utilizing original equipment fasteners to secure the unit in place without requiring drilling or adapter modifications.

WHY HARLEY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS
Riders install this V-Twin bracket to eliminate the stretched appearance of stock turn signal mounts, effectively restoring a balanced stance to Tour Glide motorcycles that have aged or been fitted with taller aftermarket hardware. The precision-machined chrome finish not only mirrors the factory look but also provides superior protection against rust and pitting compared to worn original parts. As a direct fit component, this upgrade eliminates guesswork during installation, allowing owners to achieve a sharp, custom snub look in minutes using existing bolts rather than risking irreversible modifications.
