Rear Signal Location

[6505280]

Hi all. So I have a 1976 xs650 and am trying to get it back to original state. It was in decent shape when I bought from original owner, really looked after. He had moved the rear signals to the end of the rear fender, after putting a rack on the back. I am now moving the rear signals to the original location, just behind the seat on the frame. Problem is that I need brackets to make this happen, they are oem parts I think, but can't find them online anywhere. Yamaha dealers tell me they are discontinued. Can anyone help me? They are called flasher stays, and I need the left and right. Hoping someone might have them or have some ideas. Thanks in advance.

Try gggGary, DaddyGcycles or the classified ad section?

Will do, thanks for the reply.

Would it be too much trouble to put of a pic of how they were mounted on the rear fender? I have a rack too, and am perpetually bothered by stuff on the rack hiding the signals, and by trying to think of a good alternative place to put signals, and how to do it.

If what you're looking for are those flat oval shaped things at the inside ends of the stalks, a p.o. made my two front ones out of aluminum. Easy to make them if you can't find them here or elsewhere.

You may need a few other parts besides the brackets, namely the base washers with the funky pear shaped boss and the matching grommets with the pear shaped cut-outs, #7 & 8 .....

@xjwmx I will post a picture when I get back home for you. @5twins, thanks. It looks like what I need is here, check out the lights this person is selling. They have the brackets attached, should work if I can get them. http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5610

Here's how they mounted, hung off the fender mount tabs on the rear frame loop .....

yes, those mounts are exactly what I need. right now the signals are down by the license plate.
