Small front turn signals
« on: May 13, 2011, 12:23:49 PM »
I'm a total noob here so first off, hello.

I'm looking for a set of small front indicators like the one in the attached picture for my '81 CB650. Used is fine. I don't need anything fancy. I just want to replace the big ugly stock ones that are currently on there.

Can anyone give me some info on the ones in the picture. They're pretty small - approximately 1 1/2" in diameter. Thanks!

What a weird coincidence, I just pulled a pair of those off an old bike of mine to use on my 550.  They are sold by Phillip Lockhart:

Those are the same ones I bought from Dime City for twice the price!

Ouch, site bookmarked for future reference.

They didn't thread into the headlight bucket correctly so I mounted them  on the fork tube using some 35mm "harley" hardware I found online. I did a bit of machining to get everything working correctly but they look good IMO.

I'm doing the headlight mount thing, too:


It makes for a clean, minimal look.  I might even get it on the bike today if turn off the inter-toobs and go outside.

Why all the sockets when you have vise-grips?

Tool choice is based on the amount of damage I'm trying to inflict.   ;D
