Title: Turn Signal Replacement for naked '87 K75S
Post by: dcporter91 on December 31, 2016, 05:15:37 PM

Having removed the fairing, I am now looking to replace the turn signals with aftermarket lights. Saw some custom bikes that mounted the lights under the tank where the holes are for mounting the fairing.

Anything I need to keep in mind when shopping for compatible lights?

There's a ton of em on ebay, search "black bullet motorcycle blinkers"  Shouldn't be compatibility issues unless you go with led's, which would probably mess with the blinker and maybe the self canceling functions.

Thank you, sir! Tried searching specifics for bulb requirements in regards to the swap (because I'm in no way a handy man, unfortunately), but yielded nothing. Maybe because it really should be as simple as it sounds. Thanks again, Chaos
