Not knowing your tastes, it's hard to say.

But here are a couple of outfits that offer aftermarket parts:

J&P*Cycles® - Keeping the World on Two Wheels!

Motorcycle Parts and Motorcycle Accessories for Cruisers: Honda VTX, Yamaha Roadstar, Kawasaki Mean Streak, Suzuki Volusia and more ...

I got a set of arrows for my 800 to make it easier to open my saddlebags. Got 'em from J&P. There are lots more vendors, no doubt you'll get more suggestions. Good luck.

thanks guys for all the responses...has anyone went with aftermarket on a 900? on the front signals they are 3 wires and only 2 on the back. all the aftermarkets i have seen only have 2 wires. so what do you do with the extra wire on the front signals? i bought a pair on ebay that i really dont like and im looking for new ones.

The third wire on the front turn signals is usually for the running light circuit. Use either a multimeter or a power source to determine which bulb element is brighter. This will probably be the turn signal element. The lower wattage element wiring can be cut back at the socket,or dead ended with tape.

when i hooked the ones i got now up. i just used 2 of the wires on the front. now my flashers are blinking faster then before. just trying to figure this out before i buy my new set.

MFolks · 07-04-2009

Additional lamps(lights) will make the older style flasher relays blink/flash faster due to increased heating of the internal bi-metal strip inside the metal can.

Changing to a newer electronic flasher should bring the blink/flash rate down in speed.I'd imagine most good auto parts stores carry them.

Sounds like i may be better off just to put the oem signals back on
