Default Show me your Springer Turn Signals.

I normally never really care about what my bike "looks" like but my current ride just looks so damn good overall that I don't want any cheap looking permanent **** on it.
I bought it used and have never liked the turn signals the PO installed, They just look cheap so I pulled them and am now looking for something to replace them which is the reason for this thread.
So, Show me what you have on yours please.
This is what it had on it.

IMHO, if your state doesn't require front turn signals, you don't need them. And if it's cosmetics you're after, I'm a firm believer in "less is more".

I agree and I seldom even use them since I rarely ride at night nowadays. I still would like to have them though for the rare occasion that I could end up stuck on the side of a remote road with no shoulder. We have many here in northern Arkansas and the surrounding states.
Flashers could save me from getting run over.
I much prefer the look without them though.

Cool

FYI....Those lights you took off are the classic "mini bullet turn signal" lights...They have been used on Harleys since WW2...They were also used on the Easyrider chopper as tail lights, and many other custom bike builds over the years..
They are simple in design, and they work...

My Springer had the aftermarket mirrors with the built in signal lights. They are pretty slick so I left them as is.

All I done to my Heritage Springer was making the rears turn/running lights and changing the lenses from amber to red.

I’m using the stock turns, just relocated. Cleans up the bars nice but retains visibility.
