Review on ๐Ÿ๏ธ Enhance Your Kawasaki KLR600 84-86 with BikeMaster Rear Left Turn Signals and Lenses by Alejandro Silem

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a direct replacement for a 2001 KLR 650 (maybe a post 2008 model)

The bolt that goes through the bag bar is too short as another customer mentioned. To overcome this, the existing nut must be retained and no nuts and washers other than those supplied with this assembly may be used. I couldn't reuse an existing signal rod/bolt because it broke. The interaction is only 1.5 threads, which is far from the magic 3 threads of interaction. Tightening may have got me there, but over-tightening could have broken the stem when squeezing. I'll improve the grip by sanding some thickness off the rack and applying blue Loctite to the threads. Also, the stem's plastic feels stiffer than the OEM, so vibration can overwhelm it pretty quickly - you'll notice. Good quality lens and body. Overall you get what you pay for. It can be used, but it is not up to OEM level and does not match its quality.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Almost never
