looking for some low profile turn signals.
I was thinking of putting my rear signals in the front (will that work?) And purchasing an even less offensive rear set. Any thoughts? Any pics of people who've messed?

thanks

I like the look of the TBS/Bonnie ones better than the stockers.

The stock ones are just about the most boring looking ever. They look as though they came off of a Taiwan moped.

I have a set of Kawa indicators which I plan to fit soon. They are as fitted to my 750 and I like the shape & size, much more classy.

On my TBS I put the rear turn signals on the front and then removed the stalk from the front signal and put it directly on the rear. No stalk put it right close to the fender.

I did have to buy a metric bolt to screw into the turn signal and then drill a hole through it longways to run the wires through.

I think you can see it in a few photos in my photo album.

Other Motorcycle: Can there be room for 2?
I installe da sset of Shock chrome LED units on the rear. With LED you have to install a resistor (load) because LEDs don't use as much power. Easy to buy (I used a Kurakiyan <Sp>). Several finishes. And additional feature is that I gained the 2" I needed for saddle bags, so my wife now has room for her legs. That can be a consideration to mount them to the rear (about the 5th bike that has needed that).

Enjoy!

In the "Club Cafe" section of this site is a thread entitled "75 Norton Commando Cafe Racer" or something like that. Check out those tiny ALUMINUM BODY winkers. Just the ticket.
I can get them for you in pairs. e-mail off forum if you are interested.
