Shorter Turn Signal Stalks

[Guest]

Is there any way to shorten the stalks on the turn signals? They stick soooo far out there. If I could just eliminate the middle section, they would look so much cleaner, but I'd have to get a shorter hollow bolt as well...

Someone is bound to slam me for this, but I just put the rear lights up front as they were 1/2inch smaller and about an inch shorter in stalk.. I shortened the stalk by another inch without cutting or drilling anything more than some 1/2 upvc plastic tubing, so I can go back to stock as and when I please..

I cut 1/2" of the tube and slipped it over the stalk and pushed it through the front mounting hole, then slid on 3/4" more behind it all, then the washer/earth wire, split washer and nut, giving me about 1/2 of visible stalk, the other inch hidden behind the headlight bucket.. The only downside is I used grey tubing which I will no doubt paint black asap, oh, and they dont "lock" in position, but after a jaunt today they seem secure and havent moved.. Looks much much better... CJ

At the back there is not the same amount of space to play with, and I dont know if the same would apply.. perhaps you could loose 1/2" or so without cutting stuff up...

Try Dennis Kirk

I don't think I'm using Dennis Kirk right. I can't find these. I can't find Dyna S coils or ignition.

I think I've finally gone stupid.

Get a catalog. The catalog is easier to read than the site.


Oh wait L model?

I have some Lockhart Phillips aluminum mini stalks with the amber lens. About $20/pr. You can find them almost anywhere. They come with different colored lenses and also in black stalk. I polished mine brighter than how they come, which is already shiny. If you want to see them mounted, check out my close up photo at my website.
Just click the WWW symbol below.

Look nice Keith. Are they bulb or LED?

Ok I took a photo of the resized stalk and I am holding up the original so you can see the difference..

Buying nice new little ones would be nice, but mine cost me nothing (the tube was conveniently left in my garbage for me...

Bulb. 23 watt. Just like the stockers.
