Title: Fork mounts for turn signals.
Post by Mattdw on 07/16/08 at 12:26:03

I bought these on fleabay.

They seem to be VERY quality construction and I think I can mount the rear ones no problem with just cutting off a little of the threads (too long). However, for the front, the OEM signal fork mounts won't accommodate these. Any idea of ones that might? I'm not sure what all criteria I need to determine it.

You might find that if you rotate the stock mounts to the front of the fork tube you can mount them. That's what I did.
Here's a pic.

Interesting...How did you secure the stem into the mounts? Did the threads work?

Just stick the threaded signal shaft through the hole and use the nut that it comes with on the other side. Tricky to find a tool to tighten but you only have to do it once.

Nice...can't wait to get home and try it. I think I'll use some loctite and hot glue once i get them as tight as I can ;)
