Front turn signal covers fell - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

One of the orange covers fell off today just with the vibration of the bike. It looks like it broke off as parts of the plastic was left there on the chrome part.

Anyone else have this happen? It just fell off...luckily I was parked & I recovered the orange cover, but I'll probably have to superglue it back on. I checked the other one & it looks like it is ready to fall off as well.

This sounds like a perfect time to add clear lenses to your M50.

yup, it happened to me.
the right side one

when you superglue it, somehow make sure the evaporation of that glue cleaned up quick, or it will stick into your inner part of the cover and cloud up the cover forever, like mine

A month or so ago I had noticed a crack on the edge of the left turn signal cover. Kept my eye on it and eventually about a half inch thin piece was about to fall off. It looked like it would let water in. When I removed it to fix/glue back on it was very easy to remove so I'm sure it would have fallen off at some point.

I had it happen with the clear ones I have right out of the package. A couple of well placed drops of superglue and 10,000 miles later no issues.

Yeah that is what I had in mind, maybe even do the LED conversion while I am at it. I already did the integrated rear, so might as well do the front LED's as well.

Although I am looking at that new M90!!
