    A guy a while back saw my broken signals and left a note, saying: "I've got signals for that bike, I'll give 'em to you" Cool, right, okay, then I got them (he just left them wrapped in a towel on the seat, lol) I noticed that first of all, not Maxim signals, not that I care, but also they appeared to be rear signals, based on the bendy rubber stalk, which I removed to mount on the front.

    Which answers a question I asked previously about mounting the signals, on that weird metal peg that sticks out on the front. It turns out you just use the rubber spacer in the hole where the rubber stalk on the back ones goes. I hadn't really examined it close enough. Here is my dumb question: http://www.xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic ... gnals.html

    Anyway, here they are, still ugly and square, just ugly and square in a different way:

    And a close up to show the weird depth and rectangularity:

    And for fun, video of them working: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0lncfi4rcfr4k ... -57-16.mp4

    Those signals are listed as being off of an FJ600, FJ900, or FJ1100.

    They suit the XJ900 series, XJ750RL and if you don't want them I'll quite happily take them off your hands cause I want some for my 750RL....

    I'll probably hold onto them for now, since they are on the bike, but you probably don't want them anyway, there is some road rash on one of them, on the back enough that you can see the light shining through, lol.

    I don't hate the way they look, but eventually I want smaller signals all the way around. But there are bigger priorities first, like valve cover gasket, etc. Stuff like new signals is pretty far down the list(I mean, since it took a free pair to even get any on there at all).
