Turn Signals on a Krate
« on: September 09, 2014, 04:35:30 PM »
You don't see them on Krates,
Why not?

Ruining the wire loom with the activation to the handlebars from a spring sissy bar ha to be tough to keep it hidden yet have enough slack in wires to allow for movement.
I would like to see photo's how you installed your turn signals.

I would like to purchase and install them on my krate.

I am trolling for ideas

Best thing to do is mount the switch under the front of the seat that way you keep all the wiring under the seat.  It looks way better than running those ugly wires all the way up the handlebars.  You have to fab a mount but that's not too much trouble.

It also keeps the switch out of the rain, in case you're caught in an unexpected downpour.
