    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What are you guys using for aftermarket turn signals? Is there any that do not require getting a new flasher? Thanks guys!
 
You only need a new flasher - or at least a load equaliser - if you change from bulbs to LED AFAIK. Installing a new flasher is a piece of cake anyway.

This place is not the easiest to navigate, but I have gotten some cool stuff from there.

It's where I got the turn signal brackets that are a straight bolt-on to my GS1100 lower triple tree- the lights and brackets are made by Daytona:

It's also where I got my headlight brackets and some cool turn signals for my harley too:

They should work. They are plastic, if that makes any difference. I doubt you'll need to change the blinker.
 
Sounds good. And since they are bulbs it should be fine. I am ordering them as I type this.
 
I just grabbed some cheap bullet signals from a random eBay source. They were LED so I did need to change out the signal relay. $5 at AutoZone, and done.
 
These are bulb ones. So I shouldn't need to change it. And you just cant beat the price!
 
You sure can't beat that price! My signals cost rather a lot more than that! But mine are made in Japan and cast out of metal so I will console myself with that. :-) Make sure you take pics of them installed.
 
i've bought cheap a few time and tbh the quality is never that great.... cheap moulded plastic with ill fitting lenses, bulbs that are loose, or fittings that never properly tighten are just a few of the issues encountered. personally, i'd be looking at spending more than that to ensure a little better quality. imo.
 
I have cheapy signals on mine, and I've had to do a lot of creative thinking, with much trial and error to keep them working. I would also recomend spending more for a quality product...
 
have you put the 23 watt bulbs in on each indicator as i mentioned? the 10w bulbs may not be enough to make the flasher unit switch
