Title: Options for non-F model turn signals?
Post by: TurkeyChicken on June 25, 2009, 10:14:20 PM
The wiki only seems to have turn signal upgrades for the F model.  Is there anything us naked folk can do to get some nicer looking turn signals?  :oops:

Pics/links to any of them would be greatly appreciated  8)

I bought these from princess auto (a strange place)

But have not installed them yet. For gs500-E turn signals, aside from shortening them, you're going full custom I think.

i have either these or something very similar to these.

if i remember correctly, they went on fairly easily with the exception of having to clip the leads and reconnect the wiring.

I just installed Buell rear turn signals on my "E" on both the front and the back...have received many compliments about how much better they look...check out pablos gs500 page  :thumb:...total for all the parts at the Harley place was around $60...I did try to buy look alikes on ebay and got scammed (the 1st time in over 40 purchases  :mad:)

I toyed with the idea a while back but ended up shortening the stock ones. I like them, they are bright and large and IMHO fit well with overall GS500 naked design. Most LED signals are a joke safetywise.

I do have a "f" model but the back is pretty much the same. These are LED and are brighter than stock!
