    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Turn signal socket

Alright.......I've been having problems with my right rear turnsignal, so I took the puppy apart to have a look and low and behold there was an incredible amount of condensation there, everything's all rusted up. The wires look good, but the bulb is fused to the socket, due to rust.

Well, being the ingenius person I am, I cut out the socket and tried to find a replacement, no luck. Does it matter what type of socket goes in there? does anyone know where to find a replacement? Canadian tire and walmart sell the bulbs, but not the sockets.

Oh yeah it's a 1977 GS550

If you have running lights on your bike, then you need a double-filament type.
If not, you need a single filament type.

Canadian Tire or Princess Auto should be able to supply a pigtail socket, as they are standard stock items...ask for the part by that name.

UAP or any other automotive store should also be able to help you.
 
I bought some beat up turn signals on eBay, then used the parts to repair one of mine.
 
Satch our canadian tyre has sockets...try another store.
