Default Turn Signal Short

This has a short. Anybody know where I can get one? It is from a 1992 Softail. Anybody know what it is called so I can search for it?

Can I replace it with something newer that fits in the same hole? I do not want to replace the entire turn signal housing.

I reckon you'll be lucky to find that as a separate part, it isn't shown in the parts books. How about buying a secondhand light on Ebay, to get one?

Grbrown's idea is probably the best but you could try looking in an auto parts store.

Well done GP, I eat my words! That looks a promising source.

I still think Grbrown's suggestion is the best. If you use something from an auto parts store you will have to check for fit and most importantly that the plastic/fiber plate the holds the wire is oriented correctly otherwise the contacts on the bulb will not contact the wire ends.

That blinker assy has prolly been used in several models\years. It should be relatively easy to track down.
Or......if she's a keeper, maybe it's time to go LED with a really cool looking bullet blinker set-up or something else of your liking in the aftermarket world.

I think the auto parts fix is going to work. I am trying to keep it as stock as possible. Or at least period correct. I want it to look like an old bike that has been well cared for.
