Turn Signal Studs ?

[sevens0n]

Does anyone know a source for the hollow studs that mount the turn signals?

I pieced together four good signals (Out of ten that I had). But I can only come up with a good straight stud for one front and one rear.

I thought these would be a pretty standard item, but I cant't find them anywhere.

F.Y.I. the studs are 8mm X 1.25 pitch. Front signals are about 65mm long, rears are a bit shorter about 50mm.

Any Ideas? Thanks........

Know anybody with a lathe? Threaded rod is available in that size and would be real easy to drill through on a lathe. The only other thing I could think of is the hollow threaded tubing they use for lamps. Most of the big box store have it but I think it's 1/8" pipe thread.

I think I saw some on Ebay the other night. Don't remember if they were front or rear. Worth a look.

Good news is that I was able to straighten a couple of the bent stems. So, its a non-issue for the time being. Like the rest of the bike, you sometimes have to just beat it into submission I guess... ;D

Thanks
