I don't know much about softails, but if you have a dealer handy, you may want to check with them and see if they have a kit available. If not, check Dennis Kirk or J&P. It's usually easier to use a kit than to buy parts separately, but it often costs more.

How about an integrated mirror / turn signal?

They make fork clamps just for this.          Coff 06

I just installed one of these in a friends 07 Road King. Not sure if it would fit a Fatboy bucket?

He was in a similar situation as you are. Didn't want the signals on the bars and couldn't find anything to mount them on the forks.

The LED's for the signals are VERY bright. Headlight is strong as well. Not sure if there is any legal issues with this set-up. I was concerned the headlight would drown out the signals. Definitely not the case.
