Sending Out an Amber Alert (Turn signals)
« on: August 17, 2019, 05:33:33 AM »
I've got a CB750K6 with the Titantic-sized turn signals that were the inspiration for the nationwide Amber Alert and it's time they went. I'm hunting for signals that are plug/play but are much smaller and look like they belong on the bike. I've looked at bunches online and have found plenty that would work. What I can't tell is how decent any of them are -- I'm not interested in the plasticky ones you see all over the place. Anyone have brand they could recommend with a metal (polished stainless, chrome) finish that is well made? Even better, post a stylin' pic. Thanks.
You only go around once in life so it might as well be on a motorcycle.

Earlyier model ones like K2 but you will need the stems as well

Those big ones are beautiful.  (Why is it that I feel like I have said this before in some other context?)  Learn to love them.  All the aftermarket stuff is crap.
If it works good, it looks good...

The classic ones are the earlier up to K1. In Europe used on all K2 and K6 as well.

K1 rear fender and taillight must be on too. The later used on US bikes look no estethic.

You can also have them with clear lenses. If you don't like amber bulbs, you can have these. They look neutral but will flash amber.
