Turn signal cables

[HawkeyeCBR]

Does anyone know where to get stock turn signal cables? I have some LED signals I’d like to put on the bike but don’t want to butcher my stock cables. I can’t seem to find any online, unless I’m just not looking for the right thing. I got these, but they don’t quite fit. I’ve been searching threads here but haven’t come across anything.

Any help or push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

This doesn’t really answer your specific question but if you haven’t already read my post on installation of LEDs to a US bike you should. I was never able to find a correct plug in adapter to convert 2 wire to 3, so I made my own and it works perfectly

Baugustine, I actually read that thread multiple times, thank you for posting it in the first place, it was very helpful. I’m just doing the rears so I think I’m good with just straight two cable to two cable...? I could very well be wrong. I’m new to this.

I went with this two:
Front 3-wire
Back 2-wire

and once I figured what cable was what, they worked perfectly with my LED turn signals.

Gotcha. The rears required splicing into the harness as well and using resistors. The instructions in the box was spot on in terms of wiring them up under the seat

Did the plugs look different than what is pictured? The ones on the add look more squared and closed off than the open rectangular ones on the bike.

The ones I got, fitted perfectly on my cb650f plugs, need to push a little more to click, but they do.

So I decided to just hack the OEM wires since there’s no quick route to get the adapters and I had the day off to work on the signals. Ive got pretty much everything wired how I want, I just don’t know the best way to secure the wires to the bike, on the inside of the fairing. What is the best way to attach wires inside, specifically in the area in the pictures? I want to run wire from the bottom of the bike up the fairings where the red arrows show (the bike will have a “running light” under it which will also blink Amber when a turn signal is turned on - in addition to the proper lighting on the tail)

Clean the inside with alcohol, use some small wireloom and the 3M adhesive hooks from the hardware store to secure the wireloom to the fairing.

Also something else you will want to consider:

Those look like exactly what I needed. Unfortunately I am far too impatient to wait for them to come so I hacked my stock lights, if I need to reattach the stockies I’ll just get new ones, they’re like $13.

I just used strips of LEDs that have running lights and signals. I have 2 mounted under the tail, right above the plate. I then wired some all the way up the bike to have them under the bike in the front, doing the same thing. Made under the bike light up and also blink when signaling. It gave it almost a “street glow” effect. What I didn’t realize was the rear ones were not THAT noticeable on a really sunny day because of the angle they’re at, and being seen is the name of the game. So, I tore out all of the wiring for the fronts and moved them to the back, mounted to the back of the supports of the passenger foot pegs. Signaling can’t be mistaken/missed now! I have videos of both is anyone is interested, I just couldn’t get them to load... unsupported file format?

The biggest issue I see is that the front signal is a 3 connector socket, those are all 2 connector, they might not fit at all on the front.

On the back, they might.

Correct, they wouldn’t work for the fronts if you want the signals in the front to stay lit when not turning (as they do on the US models) but would be fine for the rears

Tst industries makes both 2 and 3 wire connectors. I just purchased them and installed LED front and rear. I also replaced the signal resistor under my tank... check them out!

- just cut off the bullet connectors or add on the bullet connectors to your wires.
