Hello all. as work continues on my bobber i am stuck on one component. It is the turn signal switch for the handlebars. I want to keep the bike as bare as possible but in Pa. these are needed for inspection. Does anyone have any ideas for me. Thanks

This might seem dumb, but I once duct taped a set of signals from a bicycle onto a chopper frame to get it by inspection. Only works if you don't worry about the legality after ya yank it off.

Take a look at the vintage switches they have at Antique Cycle Supply. The one I got from them for my '57 Panhead would look right on that bike.

Nice project, the XS650 has always been one of my favorites.

Thanks to all that replied. The tank i found on Ebay. I originally bought a sportster tank for it but seen this one and had to have it. The bars are replicas of the RSD vintage bars. They were made for me by Toxicchoppers.com. They came out nice and they are the dimensions that i wanted.
