Front turn signal mounts

[SpyderTyphoon]

Does anyone have a diagram of how the original front turn signals are supposed to be mounted? Im in the process of converting the bike back to stock as it had a windjammer before. Already have the headlight and ears installed.

Try as I might, with as much practice as I've had, I still cannot read minds. If we knew what year and model (although 750cc is assumed, but not guaranteed), it would go a long way towards being able to answer your question...

Head over to CMS Bike Parts put in Honda for the brand and ((year)+(model including letter at end) for model and you can get pictures of everything.

It's a 78 CB750K

All the pictures I've seen make it look like the turn signals are welded to the ears but the ears I have have no mounting shaft.

Pictures would be good...

The stock headlight ears for the 78 CB750K have the signal stems molded into the base of the bracket. Aftermarket brackets do not have these mounting posts, and the stock posts were frequently hacked off to accommodate mounting a fairing. Part number 14 and 15 in the diagram show the signal posts:

I thought I had gotten original ears... mine don't have the stems. Now how to mount them...

I used aftermarket headlight ears on my latest project since the later model fork ears are like hens teeth. I had some hollow posts from a donor bike that fit the stock signals, so I drilled the ears and bolted on the posts. Many aftermarket signals have their own mounting posts.

That looks great. I suppose I can get some pipe and do something similar. What kind of fasteners did you use?

The posts had a treaded end. They are actual signal posts from a different model, but I have no idea which one.
