Title: Finally my 2003 oem rear turn signal broke Post by: mitt on August 24, 2023, 05:25:14 PM Hi everyone. Long time member here, even a DMF flounder some would say. Haven't been around much but trying to get back into 2 wheels with motors.
My 2003 M1000 DS monster needs new rear turn signals, one finally broke (probably my 14yo getting on and off the pillion seat). I did a search but most posts are from 3+ years ago with part number and vendor recommendations that are now defunct. What says the community for good and reasonable rear turn lights and sources? I do not want integrated with tail light. I also do not want micro LEDs. I want something that fits the 2003 era monster style and is ideally bolt on, although I do have access to machine shop to make adapters if needed. thanks- mitt Title: Re: Finally my 2003 oem rear turn signal broke Post by: stopintime on August 25, 2023, 12:49:23 AM Another Flounder!!! Good that you kept the Monster.
Stock beer tray? Anything BUT stock will look strange because most/all are designed to fit on a flat large'ish surface, with straight stalks, versus stock which are formed to fit. Another issue is that two out of the three holes on a stock solution will be empty if you choose a generic after market light (yes, there are adapter plates to hide the holes).

I was wondering about the extra holes and anti rotation.
While taking stuff apart last night I can't find one of these spacers that go into the rubber isolators.

Title: Re: Finally my 2003 oem rear turn signal broke Post by: stopintime on August 25, 2023, 04:57:05 AM .... those spacers like their freedom more than serving us.

I might just go with OEM if I don't see any aftermarket I like. Title: Re: Finally my 2003 oem rear turn signal broke Post by: stopintime on August 25, 2023, 05:52:53 AM I have the smaller tray and went with these, with 23 watt bulbs. They have a few hundred options. Scroll a little.

Personally, I like the OEM signals on the M series Monsters as well as anything else I've seen.Looks like they're available for $40 and change.

If that spacer is for the tail light, new part number 7161411A pack for 3 for $6.36. Welcome back Mitt!

An update after a little wait for parts, I did order a replacement and the spacers from Ducati Omaha. Came from factory. I installed it, and then like I anticipated it was enough different in the lens color than the 20 year old other signal I had to order a new one for it also so they matched. Everything good now! mitt |
