Title: Replacing rear turn signals Post by killsport on 01/07/15 at 16:15:01 Hello all... (2011 stock) I want to change my rear turn signals since one is cracked and I've already tried superglue. I can't find instructions in Clymers or elsewhere on how to remove the existing signal and replace it. I do see the screw underneath, but after removing it, the turn signal is still attached by wires. Where should I separate those? Other steps / suggestions? Thanks in advance! |

Title: Re: Replacing rear turn signals Post by killsport on 01/07/15 at 16:29:57 So I took off the seat (I've gotten pretty good at that since I had a fight with the battery for a bit) and saw the connection. But it goes behind the piece of metal (arrowed in picture) that I can't seem to remove. I've taken off the two visible 12mm bolts. But that metal protector doesn't seem to move at all. Ideas? |

Title: Re: Replacing rear turn signals Post by killsport on 01/07/15 at 17:09:50 Thanks. Now I just have to find a decent match. Any ideas if this will work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrome-Bullet-Turn-Signal-For-Suzuki-Savage-Boulevard-Hayabusa-GSXR-600-750-1000-/261225625437?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3ASuzuki%7CModel%3ABoulevard&hash=item3cd242b75d&vxp=mtr It seems that the original signal was held in by the screw. Not sure if these have one... |

Title: Re: Replacing rear turn signals Post by pgambr on 01/07/15 at 17:24:16 Killsport: Check out Pinwall Cycles, they sell parted out bikes. I have ordered a number of parts from them and they have proved to be a good group to work with. I didn't see any turn signals you would want to buy; although, give it a week or two and a pretty good chance they will have something. http://stores.ebay.com/PinWall-Cycle-Parts-Inc/_i.html?_nkw=s40&submit=Search&_sid=12458664 Best regards, |

Title: Re: Replacing rear turn signals Post by killsport on 01/07/15 at 17:38:42 Thanks. I can't figure out how any of these will attach... The screw hole that the "original" ones have don't seem to exist on the eBay ones. Anything I'm missing, or do I need to pony up $80 for an "official" replacement? |

I don't know of any aftermarket parts will work as easily as an OEM part. The link I provided above has good used parts that you can get a very reasonable price. I have seen turn signals on there for about $30. Best regards, |
