I have cheapy Cycle Gear LEDS they are horrible

They are hatefull and blink rapidly but if the bike falls over there fine

Yes I know I can correct the blinking

 

My friend bought a replacement signal from UK. I think it was 19 bucks or something. The problem was that it was so soft that it started to sag after a while, also the mount to the bike kept coming out while he was riding, but it was cheap. Not LED.

 

Not quite the right answer, but I went with flush mounts for the front. Regular bulb type, no flasher rate problems. For the rear kept OEM, but have Happy Trail side cases which will take the impact first in a fall, saving the rear signals.

 

I'd like to know how many Strom OEM signal light assemblies have been sold as replacements. I think I've bought three. :headbang:

 

What Montanaguy said. I got a set of standard bulb flush mounts from Cycle Gear for around $20 after destroying my right front signal. Took a bit of wiring adaptation, but they look good and work fine.

I've considered the Extreme Dual Sport Tuff Lites for my KLR. Spendy, but pretty much bullet proof.

However, the company making them seems to have disappeared. Their web site isn't working, and they've gone silent on other media.

It may be that $60 - $70 for a pair of turn signals was just too damn much.




Right now, my KLR is wearing a set of generic Chinesium LED turn signals with short rubber stalks. They can bend 90 degrees with no trouble, but they're small enough they don't even touch the ground when the bike is on its side. I installed an electronic LED blinker and diodes on the dash indicator light and they work great.

 

I actually managed to glue my broken one back together to get me by until I replace it- both the lens and the housing were in multiple pieces.
I was kind of surprised to see each turn signal was different- that's right 4 different part numbers!
Someone wasnt thinking in Suzuki's engineering department- done properly ONE could have been used for all of them:yesnod:

 

I like the turn signals on my Yamaha TW200 seemed rugged and flezible

 

I could not find flexible ones so I fitted ones that brake real easy but are dirt cheap to replace.

I carry a couple with me on multiday rides and can change one out in 3 or 4 minutes.

I purchased 16 of them and they cost me $1.65 each landed at my door.

They are not LED but I do run a LED flasher unit, I have not tried them with the OME flasher.

 

I'm doing a bunch of work on my 2003 DL1000 and decided to change out my broken rear turn signals as well. After lots of research, I went with what a lot of other strommers choose - Buell turn signals. Here is a link to a very good thread:

Buell turnsignal installation how to!

Just make sure you order the correct part numbers. Here's what I got, and they work just fine - very flexible, and they look good. The LH signal is different from the RH signal - so it's two different part numbers:

Buell Firebolt OEM Turn Signal (Right Rear or Left Front) [Y0503.02A8] - Buell Firebolt OEM Turn Signal (Right Rear or Left Front) > Firebolt Details > Buell Firebolt

Buell Firebolt OEM Turn Signal (Left Rear or Right Front) [Y0504.02A8] - Buell Firebolt OEM Turn Signal (Left Rear or Right Front) > Firebolt Details > Buell Firebolt

All in, including shipping, was $49.97. Not cheap, but cheaper (and better) than OEM.

 

4 drops and never a broken signal on the Strom. The DR350 is another story. Bought Cycle Gear short stalk(non LED). Near as bright as stock and were $10 a pair. If the Strom ones ever break I'll put them on it too. SPEEDMETAL - Short Stalk Turn Signals - Signals - Electrical - Parts - Cycle Gear

 

Thanks for the links @saxguytony , previous owner(s) of my 02 dl1000 crap-tastically glued the broken stalks back together. Going to replace them with those from Buell when I get the time.

 

The Buell units look like they will be an improvement over stock-
got a pair on the way!

 

I think you guys will be happy with the Buells. I just installed them on my '03 DL1000 the other day and they look great and work perfectly with the included 10W bulbs. Take another look at the thread I posted earlier, but I believe Suzuki went from 10W to 25W bulbs in '04, so they'll blink fast if you have an '04 or newer. You can either live with it, or change out to 25W bulbs. Also - remember to buy the correct 8mm nuts and washers, as they aren't included. I got mine at Home Depot - no problem. Good luck!

 

Not cheap, and I cannot verify customer satisfaction rating (they posted an ad on ADV Rider a few years ago........and now, will not respond to the thread)........

I used the Buells but then went to some LED low profiles from Watsen Design LED Signals.

Not cheap but they've worked for a number of years now

 

Came across this in my search for LEDs...

ElectroSport Crash Advantage LED universal turn signals

 

I have these mounted front and rear. They have dual element bulbs that allowed me to wire them up as running and turn signal lights. Carbon Clear Flush Mount Turn Signals for Sportbikes | eBay

 

I have the Buell. Dropped the bike and the lens broke. So...not the total solution, at least they broke on me. And I have crash bars.

 

being a person who usually keeps bikes past their expiration date, I have found that rubber stalked turn signals will eventually just break off on their own. All 4 have done that on my 2003 DL. It also happen on my old V65 Magna and a few other bikes over the years. my fix is to support them with light sheet metal and then tape around them. Hey I'm cheap and it works. A little unsightly but it matches the the patina of the bike. New turn signals would eventually just break off again!

 

I too need front left turn signal for 2008 DL 1000. any recomendations
