These days it’s nostalgic\u2014a nice piece with a polished aluminum body finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big! Metal feel! Spherical! Maybe it’ll make a comeback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This aluminum body for \u00a56,200 (before tax) (*\u00b4\u0437`)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The rare aluminum body (original) is nice. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everywhere you look these days it’s all plastic bodies.
Complex shapes are possible, so that’s good, but metal texture really is something special. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus it’s OEM, so the price is reasonable too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Clear lenses are a bit much for an old guy like me… <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It does feel a bit young for me.
More orange than yellow? The color has character and looks good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus the larger lens improves visibility, which is good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maybe we could go LED for the bulb? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The character of the bulb is really nice too. \u266a
And glass lenses, which were popular way back when, might actually skyrocket in price down the road?
Though I guess nobody knows about glass lenses anymore… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a rare M12-P1.5, so magnification is essential. ( \uff1b\u2200\uff1b) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

M12? Seriously… Haven’t seen that in a while…
We need to upsize the front bracket, rear turn signal plastic collar, and back washer all to M12. It’s a bit of work… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suzuki uses 040-spec turn signals, so we’ll standardize. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keeping it as close to original as possible is convenient.
Since we’re only modifying the turn signal side, ordering is a hassle, but let’s do it right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gray <\/a>and black <\/a>\u2014get both. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The position lamp becomes unnecessary. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We could modify it to work, but we don’t really need it, so we’ll turn it off.
It’s a good idea to label any leftovers with P-TOUCH so it’s easy to identify next time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rear won’t reach, so we’ll extend the wiring. ( *\u00b4\u8278\uff40) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Probably nobody will notice unless we tell them. (*’\u25bd’) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, we’re probably doing something unpopular again. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
