    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.

I do that on all my older GSes too. It's a nice little touch that is still OEM (just slightly newer) looking.
 
I like it. I had a spill a few years ago and busted off one of the rear turn signals. I replaced the back ones with some small aftermarket ones that suck - they've never worked. The plan now is to find some short stalk OEM ones (didn't like the long ones for mine).

The rectangular ones on yours make the whole look much more unified.
 
I went from round to rectangular on the back of my 850. The round ones were in a box, not actually attached, when I got the bike, but here are the rectangular ones attached:

I did the same on my GS550E in 1981 or so, when the rectangular black turn signals first appeared. I remember they cost about $10 each from the dealer (no eBay or Bike Bandit in those days), and I had to modify the mounts a little to get them tight.
 
What do you know. I just did that today.

These were slightly bent and very long.

guess I should have posted my old rectangles here. I took off rectangles and pitched them in the garbage to put the lollipops back on. :D
