Title: Replacement front turn signals
Post by: Corybaker92 on February 08, 2017, 04:25:12 PM
Good afternoon everyone,

I left the bike out of the garage one night and my grandmother backed into it  :cry: luckily it just damaged the right side front turn signal. Does anyone have any recommendations for replacement or after market front turn signals? Any advice would be appreciated.  :cheers:

These are what I have on my bike. They're decently bright and the light itself isn't much smaller than than stock, but the stalks are much shorter, so IMO they look cleaner.

qc, those are nice!

When I was looking for different signals I bought some oem '04 gixxer ones. I liked the shape and I knew I could always find a replacement if needed on ebay  ;)

Yeah, I liked the size/shape of the stock ones, I just didn't like how far they stuck out. The ones I got were kind of perfect for what I wanted.

And yeah, buying GSXR parts/accessories is always a good bet (My mirrors are technically GSXR mirrors). Tons of people buy and drop them, so there's TONS of aftermarket and used GSXR parts on eBay.

It really depends on what kind of blinkers you like, if you prefer a particular shape or if you want leds or standard bulb.

I've been using these one for the last few months, they are great!
