Here’s an alternate option. Make small brackets and mount on the bottom triple clamp pinch bolts. MotoLana makes a nice set, but they are easily home made too. Do t remember where I got the lights.

Bar end signals ? Thoughts!

Hi @bosco659
The MG units are directional and throw light forwards and backwards, with minimal light dispersion up or down.
In many states you only need the bar end units; in the UK I went with the rear units too.
They are incredible but a bit spendy; worth the money for me.
Regarding bar end mirrors I get the need; but I am an old school cyclist and still turn me head when needed. Exercise keeps you supple!

Nice work. Good lokin' bike. Thanks.
Ok! I’m assuming you just put the bar ends for the rear signal in the basic place on the frame ?
Those are VERY bright ! My favorite set up so far
Thanks for the video ! Speaks volumes
Cheers !
Nick
Do you drill a hole in the bars to fish the wires thru? I wonder if bar end only would be legal here in Ontario?
Nice set up ! I like that too ( oh, and VERY nice pipe set up !!) custom ?
Yes, custom chromed high pipes. Fellow resident Halfmile made them and I bought from him.
Most bars are hollow so the thin wires can be fed through to an exit point. I had to drill out the ends of my bars quite deeply to accept the insert ends of the light units; this is not always required, depends on the bars used.
Hi Nick,
Sorry to take so long.
You can follow my build thread from #129: https://www.xs650.com/threads/welsh-flat-track-revival.60449/page-7
Plus some pics of the rear indicator light mounting:
