Title: LeMans 5 Front Indicator Parts Availability
Post by: MikeW on November 24, 2016, 08:08:22 PM: Hi Guys,

Just wondering if the rubber stems for the front indicators on the LeMans 5 are still available anywhere.

I've had no luck finding them.

Is this the "signal part" you're looking for?

Thanks Charlie
I do believe it is. I see they may also have one of the mirrors I need for my LM5.

Looks like this guy is not that far from me. I will give him a call and see what it would cost to make some of these.

I ordered turn signals and mirror from these guys. I will Clauss and see if they are interested in reproducing the rubber parts. I think the front are shorter than the rear but will check. How much demand do you think there is for these parts?

Hard to tell. If the stalk was just for the LM 5, probably not much, but if the same part is used on other Guzzi models and Ducatis too, then there would be more demand.
