Are those the ebay units?
They look pretty good, very good actually, |

Yes the ones in the eBay link from the UK earlier in the thread. |

How do the front turn signals bolt up? The parts diagram neglects to show the spacers, bushings, or even signals for the front like it does the rear. Do the front use the bushing and grommet like the rear? |

Tigerman. You can get a short threaded pipe at Home Depot in the lamp section for holding up a ceiling fixture. Tap the signal stalk to match. |

William,
Both front and back signals just pass through the larger hole (with the rubber dimple fitting into the smaller hole for position) and use an external tooth lock washer and nut. For my rear signals, I added a large fender washer to strengthen the surrounding fiberglass.
So these new "Triumph" signals from the UK should work fine - although the extra length may be a problem for S2s with the factory bags that limit the available length.
Again, for reference...OEM S2 above, Triumph REAR apparently being sold new via the eBay UK guy below

OK, the reason I ask is my fairing just has rather large round holes with the notch for the signal. It seemed like the fairing would vibrate around the signal hard mounted and possibly break my freshly painted fairing. Then I found these pictures on ebay of an intact S2 fairing with what looks like 2 bushings stacked (maybe its just one - bad picture) and a rubber grommet on the inside of the fairing. Though I dont know how the bushing/grommet assembly is attached to the fairing. I can cut some rubber bushings out of 1/8" BUNA-N rubber

Oh, don't forget, the front fairing mount/bracket has two arms that stick out on ether side behind the turn signal holes.
So when the fairing is mounted the turn signals pass through the fairing, then through the bracket ends on each side - part of the rigidity of the design |

Yeah, these rubber grommets and bushings actually isolate the vibrations of the signal mounted on the bracket from the fairing itself. On the S3, the wires are zip tied behind the bracket arm to hide them. I'm just making sure I see this photo right. I think the grommets may just have been sandwiched between the metal bracket and the fairing for so long, maybe they are stuck to the fiberglass? I may could even use a little fiberglass resin to hold the rubber. |

That metal bushing seems to be key. I broke 2 new signals within hours. The other side has the bushing and is standing proud. |

I do not have those bushings, first I've seen them. They might solve the problem.
I think we're tightening them up , and just pulling the metal threaded part out of the signal. |

I ordered the rubber grommets and bushings from buellster parts and used the stock style signals from eBay. They have long posts and tend to droop and won't work with stock Saddlebags in the rear. |

I seem to be missing these as well. Are they still available? I have a large space open when I mounted my front turn signals. didn't understand what was going on until I saw the above pictures. Anybody have the part numbers? |

I don’t remember the part number for the grommets. Been a while, but buellsterparts.com had them. Not sure if he has anymore. There’s a rubber flared type washer and a metal bushing that goes in there. |

My rears crumbled this summer. I had a couple of spares that I bought through here 16 years ago. They had been boxed and out of the sun all this time. They also crumbled as soon as I tightened the bolt.
I've managed to cut down a couple of the aftermarket Triumph ones to fit inside the panniers. Not sure how they'll hold up but they've done about 100 miles since I fitted them:
