Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Custom Corner Anyone ever try moving the stock rear blinkers???

I was thinking of moving my stock rear blinkers to where we have the 3 bolts on the chrome rear fender brace and putting it in place of one of those bolts...??? anyone try this?

Yep... Brent sells some Kellerman lights that'll fit straight into one of the fender bracket bolts. I believe that Kuryakyn's metric adapter kit will also fit striaght in letting you put their silver bullet lights on the side.

Personally I took my stock lights off, and mounted large Silver Bullets on the sides of my fender, either side of the taillight. Meant drilling two holes, but I like the look. I also managed to find two chrome round-headed bolts to fill the mounting holes in my chromed licence plate bracket. (They were actually spares that came with a large tool chest I bought.)

Moved mine, used the turn signals off of the Thunderbird and removed the "short stem" fixing the unit snug up on the back bolt of the rear fender brace,,, easy job and the cinical lense look better.

yup already done that. just had current shaft in use machined and put in strut bolt.check out my pics.

I relocated mine onto the fly screen. The rear, I have though about using the T100 and Srambler light unit. The whole unit cost $113.00

Boogieman has some nice looking signals that bolt up to the fender strut. Boogieman's Web Page

I just swapped out my signals with some compact signals from newenough.com.

I can see some of those in my future. Did you get the LED flash resistor for those?

These aren't the LED version. I'm way to cheap for that!

It looked like all the lights on newenough.com were LEDs. Did I miss something?

I found them here

Wow, you ARE cheap.

Doh! My secret is out!

I sure I'm not the only low budget biker in this bunch!

Hey -- what's the resistor? I replaced the ones on my Speedy, but they flash "funny," as though one of the bulbs is burned out (really fast).

Suggestions?

--Jaeger

It drops the voltage to the light so it doesn't blink as fast (I'm sure there's more to it than that but that's the jist of it).

I removed mine, i took them and drilled a hole for the wire in the blinker houseing and used the rear bolt on the crome rail and just let the wire run under the finder. I know it sounds cheap but it works for now.

Jaeger do a quick search for "LED" and sandmann and you'll find a couple REAL good threads explaining this. Also, there's a link to his site in the vault, he explains the fix for it too.

I removed my stock rear blinkers, put a small red indcator light inthe hole left in the plate mount, and installed new LED blinkers on the rear most bolt in the fender strut. I had to open the hole up a little bit, but the lights have a nut and bolt desgin with the wires running through the
bolt.. Came out really nice and I no longer have turn signals sticking out 5 feet off the side of the bike..

Has anyone seen square or rectangle lights? I want something totally different

Hey Matt, I have the same signals but mine came with smokes lenses, do you find the clear lenses to be bright enough?

well i cant figure out how to insert photo but figured out how to move front and rear signals using ones that came on bike. got pics in custom section posted. doot doot do!

I like the pics alot thats exactly what im tlaking about in the rear blinkers....how did you do that?

I find them to be more then bright enough. Thet are LED so they hurt to look at, but dont "throw" light like a standard buld does..

If your asking me about how I did that.. I bought the lights (Arlen Ness I think) added a few wires to the harness, and installed them.. Shoot me a PM if you want a run down.
