Western Power Sports Oval Turn Signals

I just bought two pairs of Western Power Sports, oval turn signals, and I like them very much.

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...557879-342011-

These turn signals are well-built, rugged, attractive, and have long mounting stalks. Best of all, the WPS, oval turn signals only cost $15/pair! Here is a photograph of the turn signals mounted on the front of my bike.



Early in my ride today I also took a photo of the rear turns signals, and a clean motorcycle.



I encountered some mud later in my ride. Here is another photograph of the rear turn signals.

Thank you, Jim. Indeed, these are attractive turn signals, and they are very well built! With a price of 15$/pair, I think these turn signals are an exceptional value.

I certainly will keep you posted regarding the durability of these turn signals. Almost two years ago I bought some 1156, turn signal bulbs from SuperBrightLEDs which contain an array of 19, amber LEDs.

http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...rake-turn.html

These LEDs are very bright, and do an excellent job as turn signal lights! I first mounted these LED bulbs in my stock turn signals. However, my stock turn signals were very fragile; therefore, I almost immediately began looking for better turn signals. I tried another set of turn signals I bought from an eBay vendor, but I discovered they were not much better than the stock turn signals. :(

Therefore, I bought some small, inexpensive, LED turn signals from eBay. However, these turn signals were too small, and not very bright. :( Therefore, I have been looking for an inexpensive, durable turn signal that will accept my 19-LED, 1156, turn signal bulbs.

I bought the WPS, oval turn signals from my local Honda dealer, with the stipulation I could return them if my 1156, LED bulbs did not fit into them. I am pleased to report the SuperBrightLED bulbs do fit into the WPS, oval turn signals.

The body, and the lenses of the WPS, oval turn signals are constructed of thick plastic. Also, the rubber stalks on these turn signals are very tough, yet flexible. I expect these turn signals will sustain the rigors of trail use very well.

Spud.

Are you modding your mods?

Have you lapped yourself on the great Zong Mod Racetrack?

I am always happy if I can refine, or improve my mods, Doc. So far, I am very pleased with the WPS, oval turn signals, combined with the 1156, SuperBrightLEDs.

I am very pleased to once again use my 1156, 19-LED bulbs in my turn signals; these LED bulbs are very bright. I also like the appearance of my new, WPS, oval turn signals. Here are a few more photographs of my Zong with the new, WPS turn signals.

Yes, indeed, $15/pair is an excellent price for turn signals of this quality! If these turn signals can survive an offroad spill, they will be just about perfect for my Zong. A rider on another forum reported these turn signals are tough; I believe him. The WPS, oval turn signals are constructed of thick plastic, and the lenses are also strong!

Hello, I am very interested in the background of your motorcycle. Where did you take the photos? The mountain looks beautiful.
