I've yet to take my KLX offroad, but knowing the trails we ride, I KNOW that the turn signals WILL be destroyed after my first offroad journey.

We take the bikes through a TONNE of thick stuff. Stuff so thick, you'd be lucky to get 'er over 10 mph. The mud is so thick that half the time, you're using your feet to stabalize and help push yourself through the bogs. The single track is barely wide enough for your front tire, and pretty deep too.

So, since i'm a cheap bastard, and know what i'm doing in terms of electronics, I was thinking that instead of getting new signals, i'll just attatch some plugs to the existing ones, and unbolt them when we go offroad.

But I can't figure out what sort of plugs will fit through the signal mount holes. Any ideas?

 

You might just want to save your time and cut your losses by getting some of these or similar:

you'll break the stock handguards for sure from the sounds of things. I did on my second ride. For the rear you can get flush mount ones for like 20 bucks or so, looks nicer too i think.

 

They already have plugs. Also take off your mirrors and like stellar_d said the handguards won't last either

 

No way man, I love these huge *** bulb signals. Just the perfect thing to get your every-day cage pilot's attention.

And don't worry, i'm no looney. I've already got a set of moose aluminum bark busters that i'm waiting to throw on, just as soon as I shorten up the bars. Should tide me over till I get a set of aftermarket bars, these things look like they're made of aluminium foil [:@]

I've done some searching btw, are you the guy who won't stop pimping out these things

Really? I spent all day looking for a set of plugs while I undoing the stock license plate holder thing, and moving the plate to straight onto the fender.

Where are the plugs? Are they under the insulation?

And yeah, the mirrors are a given. They're easy though, just bolt on, bolt off

 

nope not me...i can't remember who's bike i saw them on first (in this forum anyway). I just think they look awesome, and I really hated the big blinkers. My one gripe with these acerbis ones though is that they arent very bright, and i'm pretty sure other people cant see them flash during the day time.

The front ones might be ok because your bars could take the brunt of the whipe out. The back ones will fall off if you look at them wrong from what i've seen and heard, and of course done myself.

 

Oh yeah, these rear mounts are pathetic.

I was hitting the top of the lights with my fist to see how far the rubber would allow them to flex before it started stretching, and after about the third hit, I noticed that I had bent the little bubble-gum welded light mount all the way into the fender.

YIKES [:-]

 

The rear ones are under the seat just follow the wires dead easy, the fronts ... behind the headlight again just follow the wires. I know they are there cause I unplugged mine to replace them.

 

I put the flexible rubber mount extensions on mine, now they will fold right back without breaking

 

I was looking for something like this (I think they're called "White Brothers Dual Sport Light Savers"), but I couldn't find anyone that sells them. Are these what you're talking about, and if so, where's you get them?

Yea I have the Acerbis with the turns, and I'm going to try to get them to be brighter, and the rear flush mounts are awesome, along with getting rid of the plate holder that hangs way down.




Don't forget the folding mirrors, although if I'm riding with some guys, I want the mirror to see if the rider behind me is still there.
