Comments on: SV650 Mod: GSX-R Rear Turn Signal Swap http://bolty.net/2008/06/02/sv650-mod-gsx-r-rear-turn-signal-swap/ a blog about riding motorcycles Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:00:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Stacy http://bolty.net/2008/06/02/sv650-mod-gsx-r-rear-turn-signal-swap/comment-page-1/#comment-667 Stacy Fri, 22 May 2009 16:01:37 +0000 http://bolty.net/?p=28#comment-667 The signals I used here are from a 2005 GSX-R 750. I'd say they're about 5 inches long from the base of the mount to the end of the bulb housing. I can take a more accurate measurement after I get home. If your signals are getting in the way of your bags, you'll likely need to take a page out of the cruiser playbook and relocate your turn signals. This can be as simple as drilling out some flat bar stock so the signals can be mounted a few inches further back. The signals I used here are from a 2005 GSX-R 750.

After numerous obstacles, I think I'm on the home stretch; everything is in place except for the luggage itself. My final problem is this: rear turn lights are too long for the luggage to mount properly on each side of the bike. I tried to look up specific size info for the GSX-R lights you used here, but haven't found measurements. Would it be possible for you to tell me how far they protrude from the body of the bike? If these would work, I'd love to know the model/year you used; Oneida seems to have a diff type for almost every year of GSX-R.

Sometimes we wonder why we got into these projects. When they're done, though, we feel pretty darn proud of ourselves! Nicely done! They certainly look much brighter!
