Sorry I tried the search, only find clear.

Is there any red replacement lens for the Buell M2 turn signal? Or any red-lensed turn signal that looks a lot like the standard Buell turn signal from an M2 ?

Thanks !

I'm guessing that you won't find red turn signal lenses. They're probably not DOT legal because tail lights are red. I have "smoked" lenses on my S1W. But will probably be doing something different this winter.

They make them for Harley, but the turn signals are much bigger. I checked with our California DMV and the code says red turn signals are ok.
But amber running lights are not. I want the Kisan thing, with running lights, and turn signals. Looks like I will have to go with the clear lenses and red bulbs.

red turn signals is a common American thing. Where as european cars use amber.

American turn your signal on after your turn or while you turn. red is for danger I am getting over and don't care about you.

Germans cars. Amber is hey I need to get over will you let me. Or warning I'll be turning.

I too want the Kisan kit... to include the license plate mount.

Most states don't allow red turn signals on the front of non emergency vehicles. Rear is a different matter can be red, amber or clear. You sure California allows them on the front? I received a ticket out there a few yrs ago for having red on the front of an old kawasaki ex police bike.

Talking about the rear, in California, can't have Amber running lights in the back. Red turn signals are OK. So if I make my turn signals combination running/turn signals, the lenses need to be red. For front, the stock setup will work.

Looking at those Kisan things, mainly for the running lights. Would like to get brake light function out of the rear turn signals too.
Anybody know how to get all three functions from the rear turn signals? And have running/turn functions from the front?

What I want is:
Fronts (amber) have 2 functions (turn/running)
Rears (red) have 3 functions (turn/running/brake)
