I posted this in the wanted section, but I don't know how much exposure these pieces would get there. I need the license plate bracket and all four turn signals. Thank you

The original license plate bracket was molded into the tail section. If your's doesn't have one, it sounds like someone modified the original tail section.

You'll likely need to get some aluminum and fab up a new bracket...

As for the turn signals; they are no longer available. You may want to have a local dealer do a search to see if anyone has some in inventory locally. Many have a few on the shelf (as vibration ends up breaking them eventually) and with them not available, people don't often offer up their "stock" as they'll eventually need them.

The other option, which most of us will likely eventually end up at, is to go to aftermarket turn signals. Or, Ebay, when they come up...

Good to know about the plate bracket. I figured it was a separate piece. Well, at least I now know what to look for. Thank you.

I've got OEM XB signals on mine. They look good, and are fairly durable. American Sport Bike has them.

I like Hoot have XB winkers on both of our S2's. Did them on my M2 as well about 10 years ago.

Word is that 1995 Triumph Sprint signals are the same or similar. I haven't looked into it myself.

Personally, I don't think the newer signals look right on the S2. Like my Ducati 900SS that has big signals, it just fits the line better. Guess I'll be doing a dealer search. Thank you

I have one front turn signal if interested. Let me know.

The Triumph guys were switching to Buell(XB) turn signals.
