Smaller turn signal/running light choices

[Lord Popgun]

I don’t think it hurts anything, but its not optimal.

Yeah, should work. LED? Might be a different story as we’ve seen in other threads.

Sounds good thank you, I just found very small 6mm bolt LED turn signals on ebay. For the price ill see how bad the hyper flash is. At that size and 6mm bolts I can use the factory mounting and still clear hard bags no problem. I ordered the wiring adapter plugs for the rear too.

1. Is hyperflash bad for the bike in anyway or is it just an annoyance?

2. If someone made an integrated taillight for our bikes I'd probably jump on that and negate the rear turn signals entirely

Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk I deleted both the front and rear turn signals with integrated LEDs, yes they hyperflash, and I was thinking of swapping the relay for an adjustable one, they are fairly inexpensive, however after a few months I realized the phenomenon does not bother me in the slightest, so decided to let it be as is. Front light was a plug and play thing, rear light needed to be spliced because it didn't come with Honda connectors, so I cut the connectors off the original tail light and signals. As for the front signals being on all the time and then cutting powered to blink, Max gave me a good idea to actually splice the new ones on the rear turn signals which will keep them off. Hope this helps

Figured it was easier to revive an old thread than to start another turn signal thread.

I am looking for smaller turn signals and to relocate the rears to the license plate mount.


- trying to get my information straight. I don't want to need a flasher or resistor. So what light specs do I need to look for?


* if I want plug and play* (aside from extending the rear wires)

1. my understanding is I need 3 wire, Incandescent lights for the front to retain the running lights. Correct?

2. Does single or dual filament bulb matter?

3. Can I use 3 wire lights for the rear and just not use the third running light connection? (If I found a 4 pack of 3 wire)



I really want small bullet turn signals but they all seem to be LED and that sounds like a pain to change resistors or flashers to make LED work.

Rather put the money and effort towards other modifications than making simple taillights become a project.

There's this, but then depending on your budget it may not be the best option since it doesn't include turn signals

Howdy all,

Relatively new CB1100 rider here. I got a 2013 (USA model) back in March that's pretty cherry with only 6500miles on the clock. I have a medium length touring trip coming up in two weeks and I'm looking for advice on relocating the turn signals so I can attach some soft luggage.

1) Can the turn signals be relocated to the bracket the reflectors sit on? Obviously I would be uninstalling the reflectors to do this.

2) If no, where is the recommended place to mount them? Is there a recommended bracket sold online?

3) What gauge is the signal wire? Is it just 18ga with a thick insulator?

4) What do you use to block the holes on the grab handles once the signals are removed?

6) Failing all that, is there an LED signal kit that can be installed in the original place that won't get bonked by some soft saddlebags? I've looked at pictures of the [url=https://www.motogadget.com/shop/en/m-blaze-pin.html]mBlaze Pin and the [url=https://www.kuryakyn.com/products/6148/kuryakyn-by-kellermann-atto-collection]Kuryakin Atto but they look like they'd fall through the mounting hole. Any commentary by people who've installed these is useful.

I'm using an LED set I got from COGNITO MOTO,about the size of the tip of your finger and very bright.

I just got micro leds from ebay and used fender washers to have them mount up nicely over the holes in the original mounting locations.

You will need the plug adapters for the rear signals.

These are the signals I got. I SCOURED the internet looking for M6 sized bolts on the turn signals so I didnt have to drill out the stock mounting holes in the front. These were the ONLY ones I could find that come in the stock size. They are very bright. The hyperflash does not bother me one bit. Theyre small enough that they do not come out wider than the rear rack so I can use them with bags.
