turn signal stalks

Posted: Sat Jul 23, 2005 7:31 pm

hi all,
I just got back from a 45 min ride down the hiway and when I got home noticed my left rear turn signal had broken at the fender and was hanging by the wire-I do not know if it broke when I ran over some road bumps or what-I looked at the others and noticed that they all have some tiny cracks-does any one have any ideas where I can get replacements or if honda still has these particular parts-also is it hard to get the stalks changed-I can't stand the way it looks hanging down-tried to put duct tape on it but it still sags-thanks for any help.

You can try to order the rubber stalks for a 94-95 CB1000, thery are the same as the front stalks on the 1100F.
The rear stalks are NLA and have been for a long time.
You either buy to new stalks or you will have two different length stalks.

Or you could look at some aftermarket options.

I put some bikemaster mini lights on my 1100F and I'm real happy with them. I paid $15 a pair or $30 total.

You might consider some other Honda blinkers, I've got '85 VF500 Interceptor blinkers on my 1100F. Shorter, more aerodynamic looking and they fit better under the saddlebags. Salvage yards are a great place to shop Very Happy

will 1100 turn signals fit these stems? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=35598&item=4563937384
I think they could be adapted to the mounts on the rear tail light frame.
I have the same problem. The rubber stems are ozone deteriorated to the point where you can pick them apart with your fingger nail.

Just get a bolt same size as the hole in the frame that the stem mounted to,, cut the head off it, pound a flat spot on the end,)beat it with hammer) drill a hole thru it, stick it in the signal, put a small bolt thru the stem that remains after you pitch the broken extension part. then just bolt the remains onto the bike..you will end up with stock signals that are a in a few ichs from before.

I Forgot to grab my new digi cam from my bud's house but in this like you can see my rear signals.
They came off of a Buell adn the are felixible rubber. No worries of ever breaking them and they don't look like a cheap aftermarket signal. Real happy with them, and they were really eazy to intall. JUst drilled the original hole a little larger to slide them in.

Found some close ups on another bike. Found out they come off of the XB9R, ans should sell for about only $6-$10 buckaroos a peice. Awesome good deal if you ask me.
