redkow97 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Anyone have big ugly stock turn signals sitting in their garage?I need a pair to get my bike (mostly) road legal. Let me know what you've got. The idea is to stay below the cost of an aftermarket replacement set, but I'll cover shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I've got a pair of cheap-o lights that I took off my old DRZ that Id be happy to give you for the shipping costs, probably couple of bucks. They look like these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/M-Factory-Carbon-Stick-LED-Turn-signal-light-for-Motorcycles-Super-LED-TSL-332C-/221131838339?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item337c7c1383&vxp=mtr ….only not the faux carbon fiber but rather plain black plastic, so in other words, even cheaper-looking. Honestly, if you type in "motorcycle turn signals" on Ebay, you'll be able to find some really inexpensive LED style for $15 to $20. At least it wouldn't look like you cobbled something together. Lemeno if you want the ones I've got--they're sitting in a drawer in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 As luck would have it, I got a MC parts mag this afternoon with $10 DOT approved signals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I've got a pair off the katana. You can't ride with them in Coshocton though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Standard style signals, or the flush-mount kind? I just want basic stalk-mount signals if possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Bring spare parts and ice packs. Track completely sucks. Cold patched the shit out of the turns. Most all right on the race lines and it's slicker than shit. I did maybe 10 laps and said fuck it. Another here hit one and low sided. And Steve said as soon as I pulled in the gate to Be careful it's slippery and there were crashes yesterday too. Said he's trying to come up with a solution by race day like pouring corn syrup on the patches. Really?There was 4 karts there too and they really weren't doing much either. One unloaded, ran maybe 3 laps and left. Don't know if track or mechanical but he came saw and left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 The kart guys always seem to do more wrenching than driving, but that is not encouraging. Compared to mid-Ohio in the rain, is it better, worse, or comparable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I can't imagine what I would break on the XR though. My hands are the most probable thing to really get hurt. Otherwise I've already broken my shift lever and replaced it with a folding unit. My pegs are bent to hell. The bark busters should save my brake/clutch.

MidgetTodd Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 176 was there today too. Low sided on one of the patches at the end of the back straight and loaded up and left too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I've never rode MidO in the rain. I know better lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Interesting. Gavin is quick, but also young, and doesn't get off the bike much. May have to ride it like a wet race to finish upright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 He turned a 55.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 And he passd me like a BOSS on the outside of the start finish turn by the gate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 55.8 today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yup. On the CRF. That was the lap before the lowside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Okay, if Gavin can do a sub :56 on the surface, I should be able to get in the :58 range. Less worried now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 There is about a tire width between the apron and cold patch in most of the turns, he was sticking it there. The race groove though for the most part is cold patch. Dont see how thats going to end well with a whole grid of bikes. He stepped out of that 6" space and down he went. I was going wide the few laps I went to try and stay off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Guess I better stick it there and push anyone nearby off.Or at least lean a knee on whoever sticks it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
