Made up some rubber bumpers for the tabs on the side covers out of 3/32 sheet rubber, turned out good I think.

The OEM ones are $1.16 at Boulevard

Thanks much, it's been a good project and I am happy with the results. I really like the red with the white and gold stripes.

Now if I could just get my signals to blink I would be happy. Good grounds, good power, they all light up but won't flash. Took the switch apart and cleaned it, have voltage there. Changed out the flasher and same result. Have 12+ volts at the flasher, 12+ volts out of the flasher.

Put new lamps (12v 23W) in all 4, no change. Have to dig into the wiring print. The left hand switch assembly I have is off an E model so maybe wiring is different?

I think you may be right.with the self cancel the E should have different wiring.

Are your signals properly grounded?

When i got my bike, the signals didn't have separate ground leads off of any of them. However, when I replaced one with a missing cover some time back with one that had a separate ground lead, none of my lights worked. I had to install separate ground leads on all of my signals before anything finally started working.

Might want to give that a shot.
