Replacing broken rubber turn signal stalks

 Hi all,

The flexible rear turn signal stalks on my '86 Honda tlr200 dualsport
have finally collapsed, despite liberal application of reinforcing
tape 8-)

Service Honda lists the parts as "discontinued", but it's hard to believe
they're unique in the motorcycle world. Does anybody know of a substitute
part, or maybe a workaround using standard supplies? (rubber hose comes
to mind, but there are affixment issues)

The lampholders and wiring are fine, All that's needed is the rubber stalk.
I'd prefer to keep the bike somewhat close to stock, but will settle for
whatever street legal (or unobtrusively illegal) solution I can find.

Thanks for reading,

Looks like Motosport might have it in stock:

   In addition to what friend Scrape told you, any Parts Unlimited
affiliated dealer can get you a pair of aftermarket turn signals (K &
S brand, I believe) for pretty cheap. (+/-$30)

 There is a large selection of many styles in the PU "Street" catalog.
I'm sure you will find a suitable replacement for yours.


Good Riding!
Jim

For some perverse reason I'd like to keep the bike "stock". It isn't
really, it's got heated grips, a halogen headlight and a grocery basket.
In practice, yours may prove the best solution, but I'm not willing to
admit it just yet.

Thanks for writing!

I'm impressed, that's the assembly, and it appears to be in stock.
Evidently Service Honda isn't the last word. Thank you!

Left and right will set me back $112. I'll look around a little more
to see if there are more frugal alternatives. I was really hoping
to just replace the rubber extensions.
