How to Add Turn Blinkers to Your Motorcycle or Bicycle?


For street riding on bikes or motorcycles, nothing beats blinking lights to indicate your intentions. Adding aftermarket blinkers to your bike can save your life and make it easier to navigate in traffic. Modern LED blinkers run on batteries. They are bright, and there are types to fit on any bike. The batteries have long life, can be replaced, and the complete package is affordable. For safety, you can't beat bright red blinkers on both handlebars. Install them in minutes with only a screwdriver.

      Open the circular ring under the LED light. It's a small circle with a Phillips-head screw. Turn the screw counterclockwise with a screwdriver until the circle separates and comes apart.

      Position the light facing to the rear on the outermost part of your handlebar as close to the shifters as possible. The light must be seen from behind. Slip the semi-circle part of the clip over the handlebars.

      Fit the other half of the ring in place on the front side of the handlebars. Screw the Phillips screw together until the LED light system is tight. Flip the switch on the bottom of the LED light with your thumb to turn on the blinker. Do both sides.
