Title: Rear signals
Post by McMillan on 11/09/11 at 04:35:07

Ok I am in the process of relocating the rear turn signals. Where should I put them besides the garbage?. Here is where they are now

The rear fender (just drill some holes) or mini turn signals mounted under the seat but still sticking out..

No room for the fender. Its a tight fit between the tire and fender. Bolts or nuts will not fit. I thought about the seat however I didnt want them bouncing when I hit bumps.

Stock ones I'm not sure. You can find tiny LED ones on amazon for around $20 that adhere with double sided tape. Stick those on the rear fender for a streamlined look. You could also put those under the seat, but I don't know how visible they'd be.

Alternatively you could make a bracket for the rear fender to mount the stock ones on. two pieces of 90 degree angle would do it, though it might mess up the lines of the bike a bit.

I put mine on a bracket under the seat... they are stop/tail lights, but could be signals...

I bought a set like that an they dont do sh!t in daylight, or even dusk >:(. are cool as an axillary signal wired into real turn signals since the leds dont draw much.

this is what i did, made a bracket out of angle iron for the seat and signals. only downside is i sometimes kick the cheapo lights off, but i got lots of spares ;D

Serow, put a chromed dragpipe and some chromed z-bars and take out your risers and your bike would look so super bitchin' :o ;)
