Looks like one of neighbors didn't appreciate me parking on the sidewalk. Its just twisting around in a circle, not off of the bike, like a pin or something that holds it is cracked. Thought I'd ask you guys about it before I start pulling and doing more damage. Any ideas? Would love to do some self canceling mod to them, anyone figured that out yet? Thanks!!! |

Apologies if I misunderstand your question. They attach inside the cowl, and loosen up frequently. Both my Ulys needed signal tightening almost as soon as I got them. If you take the headlight assembly out, it's easier to get to, but not necessary. If I recall, the nut you need to tighten is either 14 or 15 mm. An open end wrench will get you there. Have patience. |

Thanks Portero. Will it spin all the way around 360 degrees when its loose? |

I think it's a 13 wrench, but if you decide to take them off you could find a pair of rear turn signals and put them in the front it will make the bike have a bit of a better look. |

The front signals are 2 pieces - the signal itself with the lens on it, and a spacer/stalk. Your rear signals are the same but without a stalk, if you want to see the difference. There is a hole through the middle for the wires. There is a pin on one side of that hole that should keep it from spinning. Sounds like your pin broke. You can pull it all off, and put a small set screw in there as a replacement "pin"...or just tighten the mounting nut to give enough friction to keep it from spinning. |

Thanks guys, I pulled it apart today, was just loose, but it wasn't when I parked it, so guess a neighbor kid decided to play with it. Rear turns on the front would look better, and probably less wind resistance. I'm converting it all to black, so that combined will obviously pick up lots of SPEED!!!! |

Just take the spacer out. |

Don't be too quick to blame the neighbors. Mine will wind up loose sitting in the garage. They do that. Like a Pyramid magic thing. |

Mix up some vasoline and habenero juice. Apply liberally to all that should not be touched. It will find it's way to the eyes of those that shouldn't be looking at your stuff. legal disclaimer: Actual action to be taken is not implied by my attempt to add levity to this thread. |
