So I broke my right rear turn signal while working on my road bicycle. Took a while to figure out a fix that has a chance of holding for a while (other than tape). And here it is:  After deciding to use the 1 1/4 inch nails here is what the repair looks like:  I did have to file off some excess material from where it will touch the bike. I set the depth a little light:  Only time will tell how it will "turn" out. | ||

when they vibrate out, put screws in with glue? | ||

You do know one of us will send you one for free? | ||

Ourdee, Not sure what glue would work on this type of plastic. My first thought was screws but the small amount of separation does not leave much room for a screw. And they can not come out from the base side. Really, there are extra ones floating around out there? (Message edited by big island rider on April 23, 2020) | ||

Turn signals are usually the very first thing I take off the bike and give away to somebody who might want them. I use hand signals exclusively. I haven't had a Buell for years now, but I'm sure there are a few "extra" signals floating around. Lots of people swap them out for smaller, more aesthetically pleasing ones. | ||

They were also used on many other brands. No doubt, take off parts can be found many places. Innovative band-aid though. | ||

I went as far as removing the entire circuit from the wiring harness. For my Suzuki...I just found some bright mini LED's for about twenty bucks a pair. Both bikes have large and hideous OEM turn signals. As people perceive the Suzuki as a "dirt bike," the signals are good to have. As nobody knows what the Buell is, nobody seems to care. | ||

There are only . . . . . For the most part. . . . . 2 suppliers of turn signals. One in Japan, the other in Italy. As a result you’ll often find the same model showing up on various brands. Many of you recall that from 1993 to 1997 Buell and Ducati shared the same (almost . . . . The Ducati stop/run switch operation was the reverse of Buell) hand controls. Caveat: my information is based on what I knew years ago and there may now be a plethora of manufacturers about the globe. | ||

You can find those signal lights on fleaBay brand new. Just search for Buell turn signals. You'll get a bunch of Chinese signals, but there are also some New in Box lights, as well. | ||

Really, there are extra ones floating around out there? Yes. |
