Hey fellas, thanks for the input!  Yeah, the turn signals mount just fine on the headlight mask or using the bracket.  Was just curious why KTM delivers different configs within the same model year.  I like them better on the headlight mask so I removed the bracket from my 2014 690 and mounted them on the headlight mask.  To me they just seem a bit more out of the way mounted on the mask and now no metal bracket to bend if we go down.  See ya!
