Title: relocating turn signals???? Post by LostArtist on 12/04/09 at 19:22:55 got a set of saddlebags and they hit my turn signals where they are now, how do I move the turn signals? and where is a good place, someplace where I won't do a lot of damage and be able to change everything back if I need too |

Title: Re: relocating turn signals???? Post by John_D on 12/04/09 at 19:26:00 Someone on here made a bracket that bolts onto the license plate bracket, and extended the wires to it. Should still be around here somewhere, with a little searching. |

Title: Re: relocating turn signals???? Post by Rocco on 12/04/09 at 20:28:54 i removed the chrome rails, and got some aftermarket turn signals that were threaded, drilled a hole and put a nut and washer on the light itself. can go back to stock, except for the extra hole lol |

Post by RidgeRunner13 on 12/05/09 at 07:26:19 http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n94/Pappygt13/Picture026.jpg A piece of 1/2" emt, stretched on each end by putting a soccket in the end & stretching with a little hammer work. A few holes drilled with a uni-bit & the stock turn signals slide right in. bolt it to the rear with your license bolts. Run the wirng along side the taillight wires, thru the existing hole, & make short extensions for the wires. It will give you room to slide the bags back off of your shocks. If the s40 turn sig. stems are the same size as savage. http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n94/Pappygt13/Savagemakeover001.jpg |

Title: Re: relocating turn signals???? Post by ALfromN.H. on 12/06/09 at 04:35:20 I used a peice of flat steel bent on both ends and attached to the back of the licence plate. http://p1.bikepics.com/pics/2007/08/10/bikepics-989958-800.jpg http://p1.bikepics.com/pics/2007/08/08/bikepics-987494-800.jpg But the small LED's weren't visible during the daylight hours so I went with some other turn signals (not led) |

Title: Re: relocating turn signals???? Post by LostArtist on 12/06/09 at 10:38:55 these are all great ideas, thank you all, does the existing wiring have enough slack to relocate them or will I need to extend the wiring, and what guage/kind of wire should I get for that?? |

Title: Re: relocating turn signals???? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 12/06/09 at 10:47:12 If you have to extend it, solder it. Those crimp splices work great, for a while, then they corrode. When you cut the wire, hack a section out ( say, ohh an inch?) & haul it to the hardware store, buy some like it, Id be shocked if its heavier than 18 gauge. You can use a heavier wire than whats there. |

Title: Re: relocating turn signals???? Post by brianjkirk on 10/03/10 at 14:21:54 anyone had any luck with something like this? http://www.chromeworld.com/ProductSearch/QBasicSearchResults.aspx?SearchType=_QUICK_SEARCH&Keyword=SC0271& It looks like it'd be an easy drop-in replacement. |
