hey guys,

haven't been on the forum for a while as I stopped riding but my m2 is expiring so I have no choice but to do the m2 exit test :D

I'm gonna be taking my m2 exit test next week and I'm pretty sure I can't do it with a missing turn signal indicator...

the bike is a Honda cbr 600rr
here's what the indicator looks like:

here's the broken one:

anyone know where I can get a replacement this weekend?
 
Year of bike ?
Where are you located?
How far are you willing to travel?

Btw, have you called all the GTA honda dealers?

If so and no luck there, start calling motorcycle salvage yards.

You can, but it will require you to use hand signals. A motorcycle must have a working taillight. There is nothing about turn indicators.

Interesting... I thought we were allowed to resort to hand signals.

I guess they might as well phase out hand signals altogether as most people nowadays don't know what they mean. When I was 16 and got my G1, it seemed like most people I spoke with at that time (that passed) typically got the hand signal question(s) wrong and the Slow Moving Vehicle for signs. This was 10 years ago, but it still seems to be the case.

Doesn't seem like the differentiate cars and motorcycles on the indicator aspect.

You don’t think the dealer sells aftermarket signals? The parts department may well have a set that fits your bike. Well worth the short phone call.

Btw, suggest you remove the broken signal and take it shopping with you so you can make sure the pair you buy will fit. If the mounts are the same, you are good to go.

Is your test at the Ministry or a course?
 
OP, every single store and shop sells signals. Even Amazon sells signals. Don't get yourself into a panic mode. Kajigger something in there, as long as it works, you'll be fine.

As for hand signals, there are still bikes out there that never came with turn signals originally. Those bikes are not required to have any.
 
FWIW

I always believed if the bike didn't have signals (older and some customs) you COULD use hand signals.

This rule doesn't apply to removed signals or broken ones.
 
Where are you located or where are you willing to go to get the signals? Lots of places to choose from that stock aftermarket signals: GP Bikes (Ajax), Rider's Choice (Mississauga), Cycle World Superstore (Scarborough), Snow City Cycle (Scarborough), and most if not all should be open today (many close early on Sat, so call in advance). If you don't know what you're looking for, bring the bike and they should be able to help you with a set that will fit.
 
I have spare signals that are the same or very close and I don't need them, but it is kinda far, I take them off my trials bikes as soon as I buy a new one.

Is true, I had a blue plate bike like that a long time ago, no lights at all I just had to put a bicycle horn on it to make it street legal. But you don't see many 1953 BSA dirt bikes on the road any more, probably would not be able to buy insurance for one like that now.
