Installing new turn signals

[GSJoe]

How hard would it be to replace all four (4) of my turn signals with clear bullet ones? What tools would I need? How much time would it take? Should I just take it to a local shop?

Thanks for your help!

Not to be rude, but I think that this question would have been better if asked in a PM.

I doubt that I am. Could you PM me their first names? Thanks!

Back to the question at hand...

Depends a bit. I haven't stripped off my GS signals yet, but I have on other bikes. Usually, they mount with a hollow bolt that sticks out of the end of the signal stalk, then is clamped to the tab on the frame with a nut. If your bullet signals have a similar arrangement, then it will be a piece of cake to mount them. If not, improvisation and/or fabrication will be required. The wiring connectors will likely not be the same size/style/type between your harness and the new signals, so you will have to do a bit of soldering to match things up.

Should I just take it to a local shop?

Don't do that. 8O

It is not a hard project and you will get that warm tingly feeling from having accomplished it yourself, as well as saved the $$$ for labour.

Do it yourself. Takes about an hour if you're familiar with crimp connectors and wiring.

I did the clear bullet lights on my ratbike in under an hour.
But I'm familiar with it all.

Make sure they are DOT approved :lol: :lol: They probably are not approved. You may also have to get an electronic turn signal flasher
