[iron 883] Rear signal bulbs has blown
I have an issue with them. I just got my bike for 6 months, but i had to change rear turn signal bulbs 3 times. I don't know what the matter with my bike. Can anyone tell me how to fix it? Or should I change the bulbs with the higher voltage?
Thank you guys !

If you have the stock shocks set pretty tight , you might have to run heavy duty filament bulbs.
Be advised that heavy duty filament bulbs are generally not as bright over their lifespan.
Most heavy duty bulbs will have an extra "leg" holding the filament rather than just one at each end of each filament.

The stock bulb # 12V32/3CP-B crosses over to a standard 1157 bulb.
The stanley number shows a 3 candle power low and 32 candlepower high element.
The standard heavy duty replacement bulb would be a 2057.
The 2057 bulb has a 2 CP low and 32 CP high element , which is why it maybe lasts longer.
The best way to go , vibration wise would be a pair of LED clusters like Radiantz or Custom Dynamics which are nearly vibration proof and bright as heck.
You could probably get away with the rears , but if you match up a set on the front , you'll need a load equalizer module if your bike is pre 2014 like mine.

If you have short shocks you may have rubbed the wiring under the fender, another possibility is simply damaged wires due to some other cause. I suggest you diagnose this to find out what the problem is first! What mods if any have been done to your bike?
