I am going to be installing drag bars and was wondering how to go about relocating my signals from the stock bars to the forks like I see on most other bikes. Is there a kit I can buy with bigger clamps that will fit the forks so I can still use my stock signals? If so does anyone know where I can get them cheap? Any other suggestions would also be appreciated. Thanks!

I've got a pair of turns off of my '04 Spirit, should be everything you need except for whatever wire and connectors you'd use.
They've been off my bike for years and were like new when I removed them. I'm thinking $30 plus actual shipping. If you're interested I'll dig them out and take a couple of pics. Might take me a day or two to figure out where I stored them. Barring that, you can pick up a set of 41mm fork clamps and whatever turn signals you want to use, and then simply wire them in.

Using blinkers from a spirit that came stock with them on the forks is definitely the easiest and cheapest way to go. It's basically plug and play.
The other option, as gat mentioned is to get aftermarket blinkers and mounts (I like kuryakyn silver bullets, but they're not cheap)

I'm thinking that might be the option I go with. I'm going to look around a bit first. I may want to go with aftermarket for the front and rear both. Speaking of the rear... May be a stupid question but how do I get to them to tighten them? I have one that is a little loose but can't get in behind it to tighten it. Don't want to do any more than necessary to get to it.

About the only way to tighten the rear signal stalks is to drop the rear fender. It's not that involved. Honest.
If you want to be the coolest kid on your block, find a full set (front and rear) of HD turn signals. Mine are from an '02 Nightrain. The fronts have a 41 mm clamp that will fit your forks, and the rears will bolt onto your fender struts with just a little modification. The extra touch is to powder coat the HD units either black (like mine) or matching the color of your scoot. Double extra points for converting the rears to running / turns. One big drawback......the HD units aren't cheap, but they are genuine metal. You can see them a little in this pic.

I thought it looked like I may need to drop the fender. I was hoping not though. Thanks for the info. BTW those HD signals look nice. I like the black powder coat.
