#932590 cougar166 (User) Sir, I believe you have my stapler. Fresh Boarder Posts: 38 Turn Signals on Rear Swing Arm 2 Years, 3 Months ago   I am changing out my rear fender with different mods from time to time, and I want to install turn signals on the frame or rear swing arm of my 99 RS. Does anyone have any info on what they've done? Or more importantly, know the diameter of the tubes on the swing arm? I want to get clamps for mounting bullet style lamps on there. If there's a kit that's out there, any help would be much appreciated.   Logged     Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

Will that be hard on the bulbs or LEDs?   Logged     Last Edit: 2015/11/18 21:48 By Shores.   The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #932638 waterlogged3261 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 643 Re:Turn Signals on Rear Swing Arm 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Shores wrote: There will be more bouncing and vibration there vs the rest of the frame that is suspended.

Gold Boarder Posts: 656 Re:Turn Signals on Rear Swing Arm 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Blue steel customs have done something with their replacement swing arms , they set led's in the end sections symmetrically of course. Think they call me 'after burners'. I don't think the shaking would bother the led's but the bulbs may have a short life span!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #932777 kevstephenson7 (User) Can't be cool? be catastrophic n' good at it!

I also got the modulator so that these are both my brake and turn signals. Only two lights in the rear of the bike.   Logged     Last Edit: 2015/11/17 15:22 By knotwerk.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #935191 takehikes (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5142 Re:Turn Signals on Rear Swing Arm 2 Years, 3 Months ago   I tried it a couple different ways and was never happy with it so gave up. You have to use LED's for sure. My biggest concern is the lights are far too low to be seen well by the cagers behind us. I like to be seen so I have a Lucas tailight (large), bullet red turn/running/stops mounted on fender beside license palte and a LED license plate with a red LED full width of the plate that is also run/turn/stop. LED's allow you to have a lot of light in a small space so it helps a lot.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #935422 jd750ace (User) Front toward enemy Platinum Boarder Posts: 18763 Re:Turn Signals on Rear Swing Arm 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Not that anyone ever cares, but the height of your signals and the distance between them is defined by a federal motor vehicle safety standard, and in many states you can acquire an improper equipment citation for violations. Me personally, I like my lights out there where they are good and visible, and I have more running that it came with to enhance my visibility to other road users.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
