Deep Dish Signal Bezels

Has anyone seen/come up with any deep dish turn signal bezels for 2 screw lenses like on my 1500? I have looked for hours but cannot come up with any anywhere. I even looked into changing to 1600 signals but it would cost more than I care to spend. Any help appreciated...

Not quite the same I know, but you could go with clear lenses and amber/red globes. I had them on my 900 and they looked much better than the stock amber/red lenses.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. The Kurakyn ones are the ones I am trying to find some like. They only offer "bottom screw"(insert dirty joke here) mounting whereas the 1500 has 2 screw mounting through the lens.
I really want a dished look because I actually kinda dig the amber lens.

If the turn signals mount the same, why not buy a set of 1600 front (and rear?) turn signals? I've seen them on eBay for less than $20 sometimes. I might even have my old front turn signals somewhere I'd give you. (Unless I destroyed them when I swapped out for the HD ones.)

I was looking into swapping for 1600 ones but saw they were going to cost me about $100 New...I wasn't sure about eBay ones, most of the ones I saw were knock offs and I was concerned the fit might be different for the lenses. If you find your old ones I will kick ya some beer money fer 'em...
Those bezels do look great Ramakill; just the look I am after...

Are they hard to install for those of us who are not true wrenchers? They really look sharp. How much are they and do you have the model number?

I don't know what this is but it's makin' me hungery....

Anyone got a pic?

I need to get some new ppics but never seem to have the time.

I added a HD set of red clear lenses to lights made for HD, between my saddle bags and the rr wheel. These do run lamp and brake only. These use std 1157 bulbs.

Eagleman, They are a cinch to install and are made by Kuryakyn and come with install instructions. I got mine (amber lense, pair x 2) from CruiserCustomizing @ $36/pr. (http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/ku...s/part/KY-2270), who also have a short video on the installation. The earlier ones I believe were all plastic, but the latest have a chromed metal housing & are very good quality.

To install, simply undo the single screw on the bottom of the stock lense and tilt it up and it will come off. You then remove the original reflector from the indicator body (the deep dish bezels have their own inbuilt reflector) and also the metal thread clip from the old lense and slide it onto the new bezel. The only part that is a bit tricky is when reinstalling the new bezel, where you need to be careful in lining up the cutout at the top of the new bezel with the indicator housing retaining lip (it is made of plastic and can break easily). The CC vid explains this quite well.

Good luck!!

Do they fit on the front turn signals as well? Did you install them front and back? I see you are running the Cobra True Duals Billet Cut. How do you like them? I just got that same exhaust installed and really like it.

I read your review on Cruiser/Customizing and see where you went with both front and rear. Are the front easy to install? Did you need different bulbs for the front and rear or do they send you the correct bulbs. I understand there are different bulbs that fit in the front and different for the rear or can you use the original bulbs? I plan to go with the amber lens like you did.

Front is either 1156 or 1157 (whichever is the 3 way) and the rear is the other (the 2 way). You can find them anywhere.

The rear use 1156 single element and are just sigs.

I am trying to find out if I can use the existing bulbs I already have when I switch to the Kuryakyn set.
