My turn signals are looking pretty ratty. Any suggestions on where I can find replacement one that look original?
Thanks in advance,
Greg

Greg - if your signals can't be brought back with the usual methods of treating/polishing, then paint them. Perfectly acceptable and they'll look good for a long time. There are reproduction bodies and complete signals available also.
http://www.timscbx.com/ADDITION%20PICS% ... %20001.jpg TIMS is the only vendor I could find that currently offers reproductions and they are complete signals. David Silver and Six Center used to offer signals and bodies, but I can find no listings either place for either one. So expectedly, the price for the available reproductions has gone up.

Thanks for the reply Dave, They look ok. I have a couple that the plastic is cracking where the lens cover screws thread into them. If I can't find a suitable replacement for them, then I will look into repairing them. They work right now, I noticed the problem when replacing the turn signal bulbs.

Yes, if need be I will contact Louis. I was hoping to find some newer reproduction units that look stock.

Item number 172469548194 on eBay. Are identical but does not have the Stanley and numbers on them. I think these are for the front for running lights.

The picture does show the 3 wires for the front signals but i would still confirm that before ordering.

As Dave mentioned Tims does have the 2 wire signals for the rear.

It's simple to buy the housings and swap the guts from your stockers, presto, 3-wire fronts.

Tims does have them but are considerably more expensive. $125 compared to $80 for the same thing.

OK Gents, do I get a finders fee?? David Silver Spares in the UK has 20+ in stock. They are $30.00 each.
I always check with the UK site as they are cheaper and more parts available than their USA site.
Best,
Phil

My bike as well but replacemnet ones are nor "Stanley" ones so a rubber cleaner spray and glue on the cracks turned them still good ones and originals!
Anyway I can supply them chrome or black at 20 USD each from europe.
