Not sure if it is just me, but it really irks me that replacement turn signals cost so much.  It can run over $100 for a new set of signals.  I am thinking a full set of 4 with stems should run 4 bucks.  I have tried the cheap plastic ones only to have the snap and brake.

What do you guys think a fair price is for OEM style turn signals?

Kyle,
I have a bucket of OEM turn signals. Some are nice some are sh*t. You are welcome to stop by anytime to dig through them. I also have buckets of Speedo's tach's and full parts bikes. The sh*t just piles up.  I am sure you have something worth swapping for.  You know where to find me...

I think some of the aftermarket turn signals have plastic bodies instead of metal. FWIW.

I've been lucky. In 40 years of riding, I've only broken one turn signal. You can buy originals on ebay for almost any bike or car. Not expensive at all.

i just got mine from here: http://4into1.com/reproduction-honda-front-turn-signal-25-1055/.  Made of metal, seem to be good so far and a pretty good match.  $20/ea.
