new front turn signals/ reno trip - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Hello everyone. I know I havent been on here in awhile. I finally have time to be on here. No to long ago I just got back from Reno Nevada at what is called Street Vibrations. Dont know if anyone on here knows of it or goes to it. I did not see one damn M50 there. It is the six largest motorcycle event in the nation. there are hundreds of thousands of bikes there. So at Reno I met Arlen Ness and talked to him for awhile. It is like no one knew he was there. We talked about products and hard bags.

also i went to the Kuryakyn truck and got a new set of turn signals for the front. I love them. Let me know what you think. They are LED lights and work great. I put them on in Reno with a couple of tools in about a coupe hours.

Also we stayed in a town right out of California on I80 called Verdi. There they had the actual Bonnie and Cylde death car from 1935. There was something like 180 bullet holes in it. They even had the shirt with the bullet holes in it that Cylde had on. Pretty interesting stuff.

Then from Verdi it is only about 5 minutes to the main street of Reno. Part of Street Vibrations is also the town Virgina City. There on Saturday is when there is about thousands of people in a small city. It is packed but it is fun! Just watching people is entertaining. The 25 minute ride up to the 6000ft high city is amazing and fun. nice weavs. Perfect for riding an agressive bike like the M50.
Here is our small group. 4 of the people arent shown. But all 4 bikes you see are ours.

I like those turn signals. They really compliment the bike.

Side note: Here in the Stock Yards in Fort Worth is a hotel where Bonnie and Clyde stayed at long ago. Rumor has it they were going to rob the bank that was across the street but they got spooked and left in a hurry leaving a gun behind. That gun is on display in the hotel.

Those turn signals are exactly what I was thinking about before but couldn't find the right clamp situation for. Please tell me what clamps you used.
