Turn Signals
 
I know I can't be the only one whose turn signals fill up with water when it rains or when I decide to give it a bath.

Thought about sealing them up, but thought that might not be a good idea. I've already had to replace 2 of my LED bulbs for corrosion issues.

Cheers!

Problem #41: You wash it... :whistling:




Lemme guess...











You need the prospect to drop by and wash it?!?

Oddly, never a problem. Then again, the BSL only got washed every 5,000 miles.

Are you using a power washer, or hand nozzel on the hose?

I've never had an issue with water in the turn signals.

Ain't there some sorta o-ring in there, between the lens and housing?

Or are they only on the real geezer-glides?

:dunno:

They all do that.

Dielectric grease.

Don't use a power washer and I don't spray any pressure at the bike when I wash it. More like a drizzle.

Happens in sustained riding in the rain too. These are the smaller bullet type.

I'll try the dilectric grease.

My bike rarely gets washed. Maybe once or twice a year if I'm lucky

Is the little indent along the edge where you use a flat head to pop it off on the bottom, or top.

Could be if it's facing up it could provide a place for water to drain down in... :dunno:

Blinker fluid?

Really?

Or, it could be drainage from the radio losing signal...
