the only "bad " thing is that once you cut you cant put back on...but hey i never like the turn signal sticking out so much. great thing about using the silicone sealant was when i painted the bike it was really easy to clean up |

Nice mod! I will be doing this when I get some free time and pick up some auto sealant.
One Question, is the sealants suppose to keep the clear lid and crome piece together? I have never used auto sealant/adhesive before so Im not sure exactly what its like but it doesnt seem like much surface area to hold the clear lid on. |

silicone sealant works fine. reflector and bulb just rest inside the lens (clear piece), it's the lens you're attaching/adhering/mounting to the fairing. easy mod, just takes a little patience.

So I started the project and so far have one of the turn signals filed down to where I want it. Still need to adhere it but here are some pics of the housing up close and personal.
I went with Beelines method and filed down the outside of the housing to fit inside of the lens. Here it is on the bike (not yet adhered to the bike) And Here Is the First one All Stuck on and Cureing. Just Adhered the second one and used some handy dandy duct tape to hold it on until it drys. hope these pictures help P.S. I'm on my way to the store for some electrical tape to wrap around the ends there so the wires stay on a bit better. P.S.S. Also make sure you put the wire on the turn signal before you adhere it... Don't want anyone to make a stupid mistake UPDATE: Alright The Sig's are all nice and mounted and the fairings went back on with no problems So here some pictures of the final product. And a video of them actually working :P lol

So I've since come up with a cleaner way to mount it. It involves drilling into the fairing, though, so make sure you're ok with the look and measure 5 times!
First, I used Beeline's method of filing down the chrome section and once I got it to fit snugly I also filed down the two ends of the clear part so that it's level with the rest of the piece (one side has a screw hole, the other has a clip/hinge thing). Then you line up the assembled piece into the hole. The chrome section has 2 parts that stick out - these will actually keep the turn signal from moving. The other side has the screw hole that I used the stock screw to mount into the fairing. I just lined it up and drilled a small hole for the screw and screwed it in. It's much cleaner, no glue/adhesive to deal with, easier to remove/change bulbs and there's no more gap to cover up with foam/wrap. Here's a pic of it (sorry I didn't take progress pics but I'll add them when I do the other side) and a pic of my original design after 5 years. You can see the original design has come loose and has adhesive that needs to be cleaned up. |
