Hello Everyone,

Well I hope that someone may be able to come up with a creative solution for this one so I won't have to go to a body shop and spend large $$$.

My front fairing has been modified due to a previous incident resulting in the holes for the front turn signals being enlarged. I did not put two and two together and when my flush mount LED turn signals arrived today in the mail I realized they are too small to mount. I have attached a photo for your reference.

I have three main options the way I see it:
[ol][*]Take the bike to a body shop and have them fill in the hole, and mount up the signals.[*]Make my own custom "plug" or "cover" that I can paint to go over the hole and attach the LED's to[*]Order larger non-led type turn signal and HOPE they are big enough to cover the hole.[/ol]
I'm thinking that the third option if it works will be the easiest and cheapest but I can't really rely on the dimensions they have listed on the ebay listings for these lights. Below are two links for the types of lights I mean - if anyone has the larger type installed on their bike I would sincerely appreciate it if you could take some exact measurements of how big they are so I can compare to the holes on my fairing.

Larger signals -> http://cgi.ebay.ca/Honda-F2-F3-F4-F4...QQcmdZViewItem

I hope I can get this fixed soon - its the only thing stopping me from getting safetied and out on the road.

Thanks,

i think the larger ones should fit...i think they are substantially larger than the one you bought...and i would definitely try that option first!! good luck!

 

Ok so I ordered the following signals:

At 3.5" long and 2" wide I'm actually worried they are a bit too big considering the contours of the CBR front fairing but it will be a lot easier to figure that out then the issue I have now. I will post the results once I receive.

Thanks

 

glad to offer an opinion...i agree...working back to fix that will be easier than working the other direction...definitely post pics as to how it turns out...good luck...

 

Just an update - the bigger turn signals worked and cover up the whole properly.
