Title: Mounting LED turn signals? Post by: Grug on May 25, 2009, 10:51:27 PM Hey guys, just wondering how people mounted their LED indicators to the front of their bikes? Mine have just arrived in the post, but short of drilling a hole through the headlight clamp I can't see any way of mounting them.
Thinking about possibly drilling out the holes in the brackets for the stock front indicators, but I'd prefer a more straight forward alternative if possible. Title: Re: Mounting LED turn signals? Post by: DarkStaR on May 25, 2009, 11:03:41 PM What's wrong with the stock holes?
What Bike? Title: Re: Mounting LED turn signals? Post by: Grug on May 25, 2009, 11:19:19 PM I've got a '99 M600, the stock holes (which support the brackets that the stock indicators connect to) are on the top triple (circled in red).

Title: Re: Mounting LED turn signals? Post by: Slide Panda on May 26, 2009, 03:06:38 AM Well usually there's holes in the headlight supports for the turn signals - which are missing based on your photo. But that's how most folks do it.
They do make clamps that go around your forks for mounting lights. One place to get them might be: http://www.whaccessories.com/Wild%20Hair%20Main.htm (http://www.whaccessories.com/Wild%20Hair%20Main.htm) Title: Re: Mounting LED turn signals?

It's not at all difficult and looks neat IMO. Title: Re: Mounting LED turn signals?

Thanks Matty, I figured that'd probably have to be the case. Did you just remove the headlight, tie back the wiring and drill? |
