Need to mount rear turn signals but i do not have a rear fender. Anyone got ideas on how to mount my rear turn signals. Any help appreciated  :)

My bike has little metal tabs screwed into the part of the fender that's under the seat and my turn signals are screwed to those...

Pics please :) or just a better description would be nice. Sorry kind of dense.

Here is the best picture I have online at the moment:


The turn signals are screwed to a plate that is screwed to the fender... You can see a little corner of the plate to the lower right of the turn signal. I have some better pictures from below and from under the seat, but they're on a hard drive that's at home and I'm not right now...

Cool thanks. What's that kryptonite thing out of curiosity?

The kryptonite thing is a small u-lock I toss in my front disc when I don't want people pushing my bike around. It is a substitute for a disc lock that I already happened to have lying around... I store it on the grab bar because that is an easy place to put it... The only downside to keeping it there is that it occasionally flips from one side to the other when I go over a speed bump and hits the body work pretty hard...

The tabs my turn signals are connected to were made by the PO because there was no fender. They are just bits of sheet metal he had lying around that he bolted to the plastic. He drilled the holes to bolt them himself...

Cool. Looking good. Turn signals are certainly handy... I still need one more on the front right of my bike. The old one that was there fell apart while I was trying to change a burnt out bulb...

Yeah, I keep meaning to get a couple of Buell turn signals to put up front, I just have to get my lazy self over to the Buell dealership, which is not anywhere near the places I normally go...

Yeah the buells look pretty cool. Just happy i have turn signals though.
