Replacement turn signal options

 

Hi all - my front turn signals have finally cracked with age and are now sadly hanging. Has anyone used replacements other than oem that are consistent with the W's style?? Don't really want to pay the oem price but there must be others out there that look as nice. Thanks!

If you search ebay for 'chrome bullet turn signals motorcycle' you'll get a gazillion that look a lot like OEM and they're not at all expensive. Good luck.?
 

Yes, Lucas replica turn signals really go with the style of the W.
You can buy them many places, here's just one:

Try the U.K. Ebay site, I found OEM style replacements (at least they looked just like OEM!) at about 3/5 the cost? in the USA, including shipping!

Whatever you buy... make sure you but ones with double filament bulbs up front. Many of the t/s units are single filament style. You need to keep your running lights going up front...

Good leads and good advice - thanks for the help to all!
 

Very Old Thread, yes.? I research a lot sometimes ?? :)???

I want to keep the OEM Style.?? I? sent a message to Martin at w650shop.de? for a price quote / shipping on the OEM Replacement Turn signals.? Mine have deteriorated to the point they don't hold their own weight anymore.? I haven't found a set of replacment plastic stems that replicate the OEM ones.? So I am going to see what his cost with shipping to the US.

I too have some cracked turn signals and when I last looked the OEM units were pretty expensive. Let me know what you find out.
 

I ordered 4 from ebay that came from the UK and in appearance they look exactly like OEM blinkers.? The only exception is that these blinkers only have two wires which is fine for the rear but when installed as front blinkers, they are lacking the third wire for daytime running lights.? I ordered the OEM front ones because I do ride at night and want the front blinkers to be lit up at night.? If you'd like to buy my two front blinkers with just two wires, message me directly.? They are brand new and were just installed a couple weeks ago.? I am located in the US.? Thanks!

It's been many years but I think I may have changed my turn signals to ones like these because a windshield was easier to fit around them in the front. I changed the rear to the same to make a better match.?I got this set off Ebay for about $25. Look for "Lucas style turn signals." There are numerous listings for these at varying prices but they all look like they come from the same factory in China.

If you want to retain the two filament bulb setup with the running lights you can swap the bulb holder/contacts from your existing stock set.?

I sold the original front signals so these only have the single filament bulb but I've got a brighter pair of auxiliary lights mounted on the engine guard.?I've got them running off a relay triggered by the original running light circuit so that the power to the bulbs comes straight from the battery on a heavier gauge wire. I have a switch for the relay so I can turn the aux lights off so they don't run the battery down if I'm doing maintenance or something.

Replaced on my W with the same, the bike looks better., they are similar as what was on my T500 back in the 70s

I also have a relay for the horns. I replaced the single feeble horn with two that are louder back when I lived in the east where people in giant SUVs were more numerous. Those skinny wires that run from the fuse box, to the horn switch and to the horns likely don't carry as much current. Probably not as big a problem as my convertible, which has the battery all the way back in the trunk, but every little bit helps.

There's a file in this site's Files section where there are instructions on how to wire up relays.

chupaW650 sold me the two blinkers He mentioned.? He is a stand up, honest individual. I enjoyed the process of working with him.? I would trust him again in the future.

Thanks C !
