    turn signals

    hey guys,

    First time post here, but I've been lurking for a few weeks. It's good stuff! I just purchased a 1981 Suzuki GS 750 ex. I was wondering if I could replace the square turn signals with short round ones. not really looking for LED's as I don't want to play with the wiring. would old suzuki turn signals work? any suggestions for aftermarket ones? My friend who is currently storing the bike accidently broke my front right turn signal, so I'll have to replace one anyways. I figured I might as well improve the looks a little.

    You can replace it with almost any aftermarket turn signals. I think your bike has a three wire arrangement in the front so there are running lights on and it flashes brighter for turns. The third wire is a ground. You would need a 2 filament bulb if that's the case. The back ones just have two wires and require a single filament bulb. If they dont have that 'running light' feature then any two wired lights would do and you can find hundreds of choices on many web sites such as bikemaster.com.

      You can get either the one filament or get the two filament signals from DennisKirk.com. I replaced my stock ones for the running lights. Simple connection all the connections are there.

        I am going to make some extenders for the front ones to bring them away from the headlight a few more inches.

          Welcome to the forum !

          I think that bike would look better with rectangular lights rather than round - maybe smaller ones ?

            cool thanks for the advice guys. I'll have to confirm this weekend if the bike has the "running lights" when the headlight is on. I really like those aluminum shorties that gsgeezer posted. Will these headlights eliminate the black boxes that the turn signals are attached to? or are those part of the brackets? the 80's were not kind to any type of motor vehicle. For someone reason anything that moves had a ton of excessive plastic in awkward shapes.
