Unusual turn signal Q?
« on: October 28, 2024, 01:37:35 PM »
 I found a small CB Stanley turn signal that has a chrome reflector behind the bulb, after I noticed it, I looked in a box of them and checked my bikes but didn't find another one like it. I'll get a pic when I go back out, has anyone seen one?

 It seems like a good idea, I wonder what they came in, or were they an add-on? I checked 4 red lens running/turn lights too but nothing like it in there either.

Cant remember which bike, you only asked if they had been seen!

 I was looking through lighting for my last K0 project and came across this one. I might do a brightness test to see if it's worth looking for one more.

 I found that style of turn signal reflector listed for a 1974 XL350 in Partzilla. Of course, it's NLA but at least answers part of the mystery.
