...who's got a lead on anything close to NOS turn signals?

I'm going to start the hunt - got two sets of rears that are trashed - but I'm smart enough to know that some other folks may have already done some research ; )

Same signals were on a similar vintage Triumph Daytona but I have not been able to lay my hands on a new one.

Looks like they're no longer an active product from the manufacturer...

Good luck with your (NOS) quest!

I just want something CLOSE.

I have some nice, super-bright, personally-modified XB signals with Cuda TriOptic internals...they're AWESOME-bright, but their shape, on the S2? They look like poop. If I didn't have bags, I could get away with it, but the indent in the bag forces me to find something extremely similar in shape/size.

I'll just add it to the list...

There are none, and there's nothing out there that comes even close. Not other Bull signals, not 95 Triumph Thunderbird signals, not Honda 2000 XR650L signals.

The only person who should be able to answer where those signals came from would be Erik Bull himself, and I don't think he has any interest in his old products any longer.

First, let me say hello, new to the forum and a new Buell owner, 1995 S2 #817.

My bike is almost all original, less the turn signals of course and I'm on the hunt too.

These BMW F650GS units sure look the same to me....

The F650GS signals look like the ones that came on later tubers(S1, M2, and S3) as well as other bikes. If that is what yours has then you don't have the originals.

Close (again, not "right" but close) are the OEM's on an '11 dr650 we had in stock. I'm gonna try them, see how they work out.

Guys, are they not just common Yamaha turn signals? My TW200 looks like it has identical turn signals to my Westwind. The S2 signals sure look the same to me (at least in pictures--mine aren't stock).

S2s had different, bigger signals than the Westwinds.

There's a BIG difference...no pun intended...

All of my S2 blinkers have broken. where the tape is shown on the photo. I put a new one on, and come out in a couple of weeks, and they are just hanging there. I would guess finally material fatigue...

That doesn't look anything like the signals on my tuber or XB. You sure that's a tuber signal?

X1's had the same signals as the XB's as if there were not enough already.

Ah, so X1 had different signals than M2 and S3?

X1's had XB signals; they were the last of the tubers and some stuff was "previewed", like signals and color-molded body panels.

POSITIVE those are tuber signals. My 98 S1W, 99M2, 98 Defender, and 01 M2L all had them from the factory. I believe they started as early as the 96 S1...but not positive on that. Never on an S2 though - the monster bricks were the only stock ones for an S2/S2T.

I am and you are correct!

I just scored a set of 4 brand new ones from Al at American Sport Bike for my 1998 Defender (which I know doesn't help everyone's quest for S2 signals),

Shit Brankin...you shoulda asked. I have a box full of these damn things. My S1W has custom LED rears and CR mirrors/fronts. My M2(not)L is the same. And you've seen the pile that used to be (will be) my Defender...I think I still have the 4 for it...somewhere... ; )
