Title: aftetrmarket turn sigs?
Post by runwyrlph on 07/23/10 at 20:54:49

I had to replace my rear sigs last yr. when some clutz dropped my bike in my driveway ;)

am not happy with the aftermarket ""universal" lights from ebay. i got 4 for one low price and have already gone thru 3 of the cheap things. They make the stock plastic look solid. my CAT literally broke one!

now to the point... anybody have a replacement light they're happy with? preferably metal? preferably not too $$

(i looked at jireh cycle .com - prices are good but the descriptions aren't too detailed)

I have those too. Love them!! Actually, I'm glad the seller is still selling them, and still so cheap, I think I'm gonna order another set to keep.

runwyrlph, check the sellers other auctions too if you need more. He sells sets of 4, red and amber, also some with a bracket, just in case you are interested.

here's what they look like on my bike.. I drilled a few holes as far towards the rear of the fender as I could get.. they are cheapo case grounded lights though so you get one positive wire and I used an additional grounding strap with an eyelet around the bolt hole to make sure it got a good ground rather than depending on the fender metal to ground it.

I have a question about those ebay lights. If they are dual filament, how do you get them to work as rear lights which are only single filament?
Just attach one of the wires???

Perfect...thanks BH! I actually have a new stock TS I got from Lancer but I was thinking I would buy these as spares when the need arises.

Let us know! Glad you like them so far. I hate to recommend something and then the person hates it! LOL

There are a couple threads about the wiring with those lights, extra wire, etc. Hope you don't have much trouble. Patience! ;)
