WTB Oem front turn sigs w/stems - stems for the rear - 78GL

[Pony Ruiz]

I was going to put a fairing on this dude but decided I'd go naked.

If you have any suggestions for an alternative setup I'm open to that too.

thanks

sheesh it seems every vetter install cut the turn signal ears off ....one of the bikea I have is an 80 and it had turn signals on the headlight mounts ...to me it was ugly

Howdy!

The nice thing about the 78 - the stems screw in. One can't cut them off unless .......

I saw a couple sets on ebay but I was sniped at the last second! Not that I haven't done that...lol.

yes 79 like mine had the ears like 1100...some place I seen had those after market screw in deals ...but they were no deal if I remember right it was like 20$ plus apiece including shipping

Being cheep ($20+ each for a t/s mount is not in my budget,) I found that 1/4" pipe threads went right in. Didn't have what I needed, so off to Home Depot. Came up with this at ~$3 per side ($6.25 total, tax included.) 1/4" pipe nipple and 1/4" to 1/2" adapter. Not perfect but once mounted you have to look close to tell the difference.

Resulting in this.....

RC: I may try that if and when I come up with some oem front sigs. I didn't think I was going this route a while back when I had a spare set - which went with the 75 I sold. Sold the fairing/bag setup I bought for this bike.

When I keep the stuff I don't need it and it takes up space - when I get rid of it because I think I'll never need it - I end up having to buy something to replace it.

this is not an inexpensive hobby.

Aside from the oem setup I might get rid of the stock ears and do something different or attach a plate to the ear where the sigs go drill a hole in that and attach/bolt some other type of sig to that.

Reminds me of a conversation with my dad just weeks before he passed.

We were in the back yard looking over his 'treasure' collection when he said, "I know I'll never use 95% of this stuff. But I don't know which 5% to keep."

he nailed it!

I have been thinking to let go of a bunch parts and a couple bikes - get down to one ride - and think a little less about what isn't getting done.
