Proper CB750 turn signal relay with mount under $10.00.
« on: January 20, 2013, 08:23:09 PM »
  Check this out.  I bought this relay at Napa over a year ago for under $10.00.  Today when I was working on cleaning up the electrical system parts under my left sidecover I decided to see if I could rig a nice mount.  I started looking at the battery box and realized that the plasitc slide mount on the top of the relay will slide right onto the tab for the OEM and discontinued rubber mount.

That solves one more puzzle. Thanks for that info and picture. No more zip ties and electrical tape. Clean install.

One thing to note, as of sometime prior to this post the price for these relays went up.  I looked at NAPA yesterday and it was $16.99.  I have a buddy who is telling me that they are readily available through AC Delco for less than $1.00. 

I'm going to keep searching for a cheap source just because I'm hard headed like that.

Hey all, I see from the picture that this relay has three prongs on it. The relay on my 750 k5 only has two. Are there similar relays (will fit on the battery box like the stock one) available from NAPA or other brands? Thanks for any insight.

the third prong is a dedicated ground. Use your extra green wire that has stumped you for the longest :P

Not 100% sure but I believe the EP34 is a two prong.

Rockauto.com has a Tridon EP35 for $9.47 that looks similar to the NAPA part on the outside...

Haven't tried it, yet.
