Mounting Turn Signals

[Dallas_95gt]

Hey, been doing a lot of reading here, but haven't posted much.

I have a 2003 Shadow Spirit 750, I was installing new rear turn signals. I have bullet style, and was planning on mounting them on the rear grab rails, in place of the rear mounting bolt. The bolts that came with my new signals are not long enough to go completely through. They a hollow bolt for the wires to come through. Anyone know where I can get a longer bolt like this? I've checked the hardware store, but have had no luck.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Are the threads on your lights metric or standard? Im in the same boat. The thread on the lights are standard and the bolt I took out is metric. OUCH. Well we will figure out somthing. Keep me posted.

Im not sure if these are the right thread size or not. http://www.phatperformanceparts.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=2289

If not you might be able to use these http://www.phatperformanceparts.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=LS-BOLTS

You can also make a bracket with aluminum and mount between the fender and the fender support so the signals are under the support heres a pic of mine

scootworks sells the hollow bolts that are 10mm like the fender bolts and are standard thread for the bullet lights. I think they are $24.00 for the set. Don't buy the ones from kuryakin, they are 8mm and won't work on the fender strut bolts.

Thanks for all the information...I'm going with out rear turn signals right now, so I need to get something ASAP.

[RustyJake]

At $24.00 a set it's a little steep. But www.scootworks.com in their catalogue under Honda, and then lights and accessories you'll see the 10mm1.25 thread hollow bolts/studs listed there. They will work as a direct bolt up. You can fab a bracket as shown which works great and lots of people have done it. I had used the original brackets and washer to hold mine on while I used them. You can do something like that or the bracket to get flashers on again in a hurry.

Thanks bro, I went ahead and ordered them last night, You???re right though that is a little steep. But man they have ya by the throat with this stuff. It's kind of like gas, you either pay their price or you walk. <O:p</O:p<O:p</O:p

By the way Cowboy, where can I get a set of those chrome shock covers? My Pop's has those on his Ace but I havent ran across any yet. Thanks for the help bro. God bless.

[Dallas_95gt]

Thanks for idea on making brackets. I ended up doing that, I think I like the look better that way.

I got the bullet lights and hooked them up. When I use the turn signals they blink but aren't they supose to stay on like the brake light?

[JetDoctor]

Only the front signals stay on as marker lights. The rears only come on when you select your turn signal.

[ickmak]

Right on, thanks

[Metric Mania]

My front lights dont stay on either. They will blink but dont burn all the time. How do I wire it to do so? Thanks, God bless.

You need to test the wires to see which is running light and which is signal light. All you have to do is twist the wires, trying each, until you figure the colors out. Once you find the right combination, make sure you weave the wires end to end, sodder, and cover with shrink tubing. It's a great way to finish your wires, and looks clean.

They are ace shocks they fit the spirit.I got them on ebay for about $40.00.

I got my signal lights to burn all the time. The question now is this. The signal light indicator on the speedometer stays lit up all the time, can I fix it? Not a big deal. Just wondering if you guys have seen the same. Thanks, God bless.

if they are kuryakyn lights, give them a call. they have a diode kit that will correct the problem.

What did you do? There are only a couple of wires. What the hell. I have no idea what to do about that.

HELLO????????

It's even in the instructions from Kuryakyn. It's called "cross-talk" between the signals.

If they aren't Kuryakyns the diode kit should still work.

[Metric Mania]

Thanks guys, I ordered the diode kit. Will let you know what happens. Thanks, God bless.

[Metric Mania]

The diode kit came in. I took the speedometer off the tank and tried to get into the signal light indicator, but had no luck. Can some one help me out with the how to for this diode? Thanks, God bless.<O:p</O:p

Try looking for a wiring diagram for the bike. There was one on here but the link is dead. Or get yourself a service manual, you really should have one anyway.
