Hitting front turn signals

jerkybear · 06-10-2008

Does anyone have any problems with their crash bar hitting their turn signals when the handlebar is turned all the way? When I turn my handle bar, there is not enough clearance between the turn signals and crashbar. A couple of weeks ago, I broke the right turn signal when I turned the bike real sharp. Fixed it with superglue and Gorrilla tape. Any help to solve this problem would be helpful. I bought the bar that was supposed tofit the 900LT. Thanks, Craig

Get rid of the floppy eared signals that will work

MC enterprises. When i turn my handlebars all the way to lock the forks, the turn signals scrape the top of the bar. I installed it the way the instructions said. I thought about removing the rubber bushings on the light bar, oh, did I forget to say that I have a Kawi lightbar, to raise the lightbar a little higher, but it might shake the lights apart. Any suggestions????

I have the MC guards on my '07 classic and they don't hit. I know this doesn't really help much.

I'm not 100% sure, but it might have something to do with the light bar. I remember there being a thread awhile ago about the Kawi lightbar not working with crashbars outside of the regular Kawi ones. I'd look around and see what you can find.
