    Hi from NY

    Hello all, I chose this forum over triumphrat.net thinking it would be more specific to Speed Triples, hope I was right hehe. I ride an '08 that I've had for about a year. I love it, and I was hoping someone could help me find new turn signals for it. I'm not a fan of the stock ones, and I can't seem to find anything online. Basically just want a light there instead of anything sticking out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I also have some stock parts laying around if anyone wants them for cheap -
    - exhaust
    - rear fender
    - mirrors

    Thanks,
    Chris

    You would think with a name like thespeedtriple.com that would be the case, but in actuality it is a forum for discussing the three point hitch that Ford introduced on it's farm tractors and how it revolutionized changing implements quickly and easily back in the day and continues to be a great design that was also used by other OEMs. Here is s photo of "mine", BTW, that is a nice Harley in your picture.

    You think he's gone? He's not gone. That's the whole point! He's never gone!

    I picked up these turn signals, from measuring the bike I think they'll work fine. Once I get my bike back from the shop I'll put them in and let you know how they work.

    There arent any specific flush mounts out there. I bought some from British Customs a few years ago, but nobody makes them anymore. You can find universal flush mounts to fit. I've also seen a strip of LED's adhered to the frame on either side to serve as turn signals. Looks good and serves the purpose.

    We mounted a 50 cal on top of one of our tractors at the parents farm to take care of the muskrats that kept digging holes through the creek bed causing our feilds to flood. Those lil bastards stopped pretty quickly.

    Welcome to the forum. Where in NY are you from?

    I hear you on the turn signals an what I'm doing is getting a strip of LEDs in yellow and putting them on the edges of the Rad cover so it's visible to anyone looking at the bike straight on.

    I have the strips in the rear and they are very bright and noticeable

    Good luck with anything you do.
