    "Real" turn signals

    After numerous complaints from other riders that my mini turn signals are hardly visible during daylight, I have decided to update to signals that use a regular or larger size bulb. Just a regular bulb, not led.
    Ebay has thousands of choices, seemingly mostly led which I do not want.

    Can anyone recommend a supplier on Ebay with a good size unit (not mini) with a regular bulb that would work on my 80gs1100?

    Does it have to be eBay?

    Parts-n-More has some for your bike for $18 each.

    Scroll down just past half way down the page, you will see four styles.

      Why not LED?

      All of the turn signal lights on my bike are full-size. Rear ones (on the saddlebags) are actually larger than the originals that came on the bike. All of them are dual-brightness LED, so they function as both clearance and turn signals lights, and all are BRIGHTER than incandescent bulbs while drawing less current.

      To each his own, but don't condemn all LED lights based on those too-small mini signals.

        I agree with 850GT, I have the stock signal ears on my bike with the LED bulbs in them. They look pretty good
