Well I hate to say it but I have not been too kind to my XB this year. Last fall I was loading it onto a trailer after going to motorcycle rally and dropped it. Well it broke both turn signals on the left side. I had ordered some stock turn signals but ended up with the wrong ones.So instead of sending them back I just decided I would get some LED turn signals. The first ones I ordered were larger than I had expected. Then summer caught up with me and I got busy doing other things. Well I got cheap and bought some new LED turn signals off Ebay. Went to install them this weekend the damn things BROKE so I am back to using the larger ones instead. I still have to get an LED flasher but other than that I am done. Here are the rear signals installed.  Once I get the new flasher I'll post up a picture with the fronts done too. | ||

glad to see i'm not the only one with a still intact cheese grater (I assume since the rear reflector is still there then the sides are too?) | ||

I have a Firebolt so no Cheese Grater on mine. Still have the stock lic plate brackets though. Not a big fan of the deletes for the Firebolt. | ||

I'll try to take a picture later to show how bright they are. I got the lights off Ebay--Here is a link to some offered right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-Black-LED-Motor cycle-Turn-Signals-Harley-Sportster-/200660745035? pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eb84ffb 4b The seller is radical-cycle | ||

So I got the new flasher today and got the faring reinstalled. The turn signals work great and I can't wait until Thursday or Friday to go for a ride. So here are a few pictures of the turn signals flashing. Yes I think they are brighter than the stock ones.  You can see the rear signal reflecting off the refrigerator to give you an idea how bright they are.   | ||

Worked on the Buell some more today. I had bought this axle slider kit a long time ago off Ebay. Used locktite on the bolts.   Rear axle.    Front axle.    Next I put on my Grip Puppies. http://www.casporttouring.com/cst/motorcycle/GRIPP UP/GPSMALL.html    So until I get the 1K service done I am done installing parts. I have a K&N filter waiting to install and also have a VIED from KnightRider.com that I'll put on after the service. So tell me what you think so far? I know I really haven't done anything out of this world to it but I am slowly making it mine. I feel bad for not riding it much this year but will get some miles on it next year. | ||

I like the clear signals, and they are big enough to be seen, which is a good thing. Looks nice and clean. The sliders are a nice color match for the bike too. I've got a plate frame you can have, not sure it will improve over the HD one - though it is, uhh, blingier... Looks like this on a Buell:  Or maybe I should mail it to Doz?

Save your postage buggles | ||

 Will do! For now anyway.... I'm dying to find someone who will want the frame, can't bear to throw it away, it is pretty nice, just not suited to a Buell...IMO |
