Title: Dietz style turn signals on a Tonti
Post by: motospotter on January 21, 2021, 12:00:31 PM: I found these turn signals in the shed. I like being seen and want other drivers to be aware of my lane changes, etc ... The police style turn signals look pretty good with the panniers.

Plus 1 I'm with you :thumb: :thumb:

I don't get the idea of tiny indicators

That's just form over function IMO

Unless someone is offended, in which case I'll remove the post, I have a number of original Dietz turn signals and spot lights available. Send me a PM and I'll let you know what I have.

Post by: ozarquebus on January 22, 2021, 07:03:16 PM: I need another amber lens eventually. Its funny how a part can survive about 50 years on the road, beat up in garages, falling over...Then I take them off for safe keeping pending freshening the bike and it falls off a chair in the kitchen and breaks that big Dietz lens. That is my regular luck. Apparently they do get brittle.

Post by: T-3Dave on January 22, 2021, 07:19:06 PM: I had a set front and rear on my '75 T-3. Really liked them! Before I put them I used to get horrible wind buffeting, so much it would vibrate my helmet. After putting on the Dietz signals no more buffeting issue.

Motospotter, what bags are those?

They are Acmemoto2 mounted using their universal plate. I modified some Nevada racks to get them all on the SP.

Nice to know, I had a friend ask about mine. They are getting harder to find.

Post by: Cam3512 on January 23, 2021, 10:10:40 AM: Have them on my Ambo, and my 2 former police Eldo’s. Like them so much I also put them on my new white Calvin back in ‘09. The reds in the rear had the 2 wires and doubled as running lights.

Post by: Antietam Classic Cycle on January 23, 2021, 10:15:55 AM: Put them on my friend Leo's Convert. Big, but not as bright as the stock CEV signals with LED bulbs on my Convert.
