Title: MOTOBOSS Turn signals?
Post by: Zack on June 06, 2007, 08:32:30 AM
I searched, but didn't find any info on MOTOBOSS signals, just gear.

MOTOBOSS Short Stalks #2522 (http://cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1=&L2=&L3=&L4=&item=FAI_BD14-U0273-5&tier2=65)

Anybody familiar with these? I really hate my Voltron signals...  These look like they are a good price too. I don't want to do LED, at least not yet. All of the LED lights I've seen are too slim and look like alien pods.

They're not as bright as stock, 'cause they don't have reflectors in 'em (At least, it doesn't look like there is)...  There's info about signals similar to those around here somewhere.....

i have those and if you have an F you'll have to go to home depot and get some washers and rubber spacers to install them. the stalk is about .5" too thin for the original hole in the fairing. i also ended up supergluing them down just to make sure they didn't wobble out of position. also, one of the bulbs was broken when i recieved it, so i went to get a replacement, and couldn't find one anywhere. i ended up getting a similar style, but the blink speed is faster on the side with the replacement bulb. but i think they're on sale for like 5 bucks or something at cycle gear right now.

i just saw you have an E model. so i guess disregard the first portion of my response, as i don't know anything about the mounting brackets on an E. :dunno_white:

Yeah I wanted the Buells, couldn't find them for a good price... these signals were sort of a spontaneous purchase. I'll take some pics of them when I get 'em on, hopefully this weekend if they come in the mail. I'll let ya'll know what I think about them... hopefully they wont suck!!
