Topic: Anyone identify these turn signals?

[carnivorous chicken]

Anyone able to identify these? And more importantly -- are the screws that mount them supposed to come out?

Found these and am thinkning about running them on my PHX 350F or my 550F here (to tighten up the profile) but if the screws come out it would help -- I could use something longer to mount them. Similar to a 350F turn signal but not quite. From a twin? And yes, I guess I cold drill them out if I have to but curious -- used a little heat and those suckers didn't budge. I mean.. they have a JIS head so they must unscrew, right?

May be 73 to 76 CB750 after market turn signals.

Thanks, but not so sure -- they're close, but the mount is different and the stalk is a little shorter...

Aftermarket not genuine in my opinion, you can change stems easy enough

The short stems are what I want! But you might be right -- although the turn signals' wires do have the blue and orange bands, dunno if aftermarket stuff had those... but maybe?

[bryanj]

Tail light?

Tail light?

Derp -- did that when I first wrote the post too, brain fart -- I meant turn signal.

Genuine Honda would be a black wire with either  a blue or orange sleeve depending on side, front ones in USA have two wires, the second wire being either orange with white stripe or blue with white stripe for always on running lights

They've got the bands... although there's no telling if someone put an oem head on an aftermarket stalk, but I kind of doubt it.

[jlh3rd]

genuine honda lens has raised lettering "stanley".    "made in Japan"
aftermarket lens will not.

[bryanj]

I think they are original heads on aftermarket stems

Do the screws spin freely? I would hate to put heat on them and hurt the chrome. If they got in there, they gotta come out somehow I imagine...

They don't, at least not with the attempt I've given it. Didn't use too much heat, and didn't try to force them too hard.

I was going to bring them to Phoenix and switch them out with the 350F1 I have up there (that has long stalks) but I found stock shorter stalks so I'll probably just use those. And I might get a few things rechromed here, so maybe I will do these and then, I guess, the riddle of the stuck screws will be revealed...

CB175K5?

[carnivorous chicken]

CB175K5?

I bet those are thems! Good eye!

I've got a spare grab bar here for a 350F and they mounted up, although I mocked them up with a little bit of gasket rubber instead of the stock 350F mount. If that bolt was a little longer it would be ideal. And judging from the parts fiche, it doesn't look like it comes out.

[carnivorous chicken]

These are them.

Stock Honda explains the colored bands on the wiring.

I think I'm going to run stock 350F turn signals -- shorter ones not the 1974/F1 ones that are on it now -- on that bike in Phoenix. the longer ones are rusted out -- maybe I'll bring the stalks home and rechrome them since I'm gonna get some stuff done anyway. But those CB175 rear turn signals would be a great way to tighten up the back end and the front ones are definitely shorter than those 350F1 ones.

I might switch out those signals on my 550F here in Mexico City -- it's completely stock now (final touch -- headlight reflectors that are waiting for me in Phoenix this week). But riding here in CDMX requires threading through cars and splitting lanes (either in stop and go traffic or at stop lights to get up front) and I am probably going to put on slightly narrower bars, different mirrors, and rear signals that are smaller. It's mostly the bars and mirrors that stop me between cars. I should add: I don't split lanes in anything other than 1st or 2nd. Seen plenty of nutters here ripping through and seen a few of them go down.

Yeah...Colorado last year (or the year before) declared 'lane splitting' in stopped traffic (at stoplights, but some are doing it in jams) legal for motorcycles. The result is predictable: a lot of riders have been hurt and some (3 so far) died from angry car drivers who don't know it's legal and were already pissed about something before the biker pulled up between them and the other car, then hit them when the light went green. In one case here in town the driver claimed the biker scratched his [new] Porsche when he pulled up, so the Porsche driver "tapped" the biker's rear fender when the light changed, and ended up running over the rider when he fell over - at least, that's their story...scary way to ride!

Not for me...

[carnivorous chicken]

I totally get it. Never split lanes in the US when I was there. Here it's different. Motorcycles have a space marked off for them at the front of intersections, in front of cars, so there is the expectation they will move to the front at a stop light. And for traffic that is stopped, there are more motorcycles here than in the USA and it's pretty customary for bikes to weave their way through. Occasionally you get someone who blocks you off -- not moving to block you off, but just at the far left of their lane, or far right of their lane -- who doesn't move. But the vast majority of people, when they see a bike in their mirror and realize they can scoot over to let it pass, will do that. We still have our fair share of idiots and idiots on bikes, and I still ride like people can't see me. But it is a little different here.
