Turn Signal Housing

[fishball]

I'm looking to replace the plastic cover for my left turn signal.  Not the orange lens but the plastic chrome shell.  Find out that the OEM replacement is $50.  The signal still works and all I need is the housing.  Any ideas where to get one?  If I search ebay or craigslist what other bikes should I look under, I mean it is a very generic piece, Honda must have used it on many bikes.

Someone is always selling these on fleaBay. Just type in "Honda Nighthawk 750 turn" in the search bar and you should see some.

Fishball, if you happen to come across a pair for sale and have no use for the right one let me know and I'll happily buy it off of you. The front right directional housing on my bike was cracked in the fall by the previous owner.

Check these out.  I found a bikemaster sig that matched my stockers exactly for far less than my Honda shop.

Thank you luckylindy, that will do just fine.  Greg if you follow lindy's link you can purchase the entire unit for $15.

Thanks, fishball. Good find, luckylindy.

I just replaced all four turn signals on my 91 750 because the arm was dry rotted pretty bad.  If you still need the other pieces, let me know, I might still have them sitting around at home.  I'd be happy to send them to you, just pay shipping.

A quick update.  Yesterday I replaced the busted housing and I thought I would just come on here and state how naive I am when it comes to all things mc service related.  I always think it should be simple, just swap the housing but instead it turns out to be a minor project.  Again this is my ignorance.  First I didn't realize that the signal housings were sealed, not too bad though, a nice new turn signal for $15 is a nice bargain.  Then I thought it was a simple matter of taking one housing off and putting the other housing on and swapping the wires.  Well sort of, turns out that you have to open the headlight housing because that is where all the wires lead to.  However I actually removed the entire headlight housing which wasn't necessary as you can get access just by popping off the lens and removing one screw.  So I then ran the wires through the signal stalk and then realized the color code for my wires on the housing were different than the color of the old wires.  No matter just a bit of wire swapping and then hooked it all backed up.  However I wasn't thorough and realized that when I gave it a test, the turn light on the instrument panel was always on, missed that on the test.  So I had to open everything up again and do it right.  All done now and everything works as it should.

One note, the replacement signal looks just a bit different than stock.  It aims downward just a bit and the orange lens is brighter and clearer.

do the turn signals with the rubber attachments just screw into the headlight bracket mount? I didn't see a bolt to hold them in on this schematic:

Aggie2011 - if you purchase the correct bike master turn signals for your bike, you will not be able to tell the difference between them and stock.  Except, they will be less than 1/2 of the price.

Also, the stalk comes with the correct mounting stud and hardware.

I've had my rears on the bike for about 10K miles, and the fronts for about 2K miles, both with no problems.

Wish I had asked a little earlier. just got the new blinker, and can't figure out how the old one is stuck in there.

I might just take a knife to the rubber to see if I bent something with earlier attempts.
