I have a 2008 TE610. I just got an X2 headlight, now I need an alternate mount for the turn signals. I noticed that HDB has an option for turn signals mounted on the guards. Their web site also says that they only fit 1 1/8" bars. If I upgrade to the new bar size do I also have to get a new throttle assembly and levers?
The 2008 comes with fat bars (1-1/8) I thought? So no need to replace them unless you want a different bend. My '07 uses 7/8 bars so would need new clamps. As mentioned they all are 7/8" at the control ends. Not sure how the X2 affects your turn signals, but on my Lynx fairing, I used stock upper triple clamp brackets on 1/2" ropund spacers with flexible long stem minature marker lights (Western Power Sports 60-1378 dual filament for more visability). The are small enough poke out around the fairing and still not hit my handguards. HDB also announced their embedded LED turn signal - embedded in their handguard plastic cover.
I just got the X2 as well and plan to mount the turn signals on the flat sides of the headlight so it can all be removed as one piece.
I have an X2 light and my turns signals are fine, I just bent them back a bit. Or you can mounted them on the forks. Just use the bottom bolt on the top fork clamp to mount them.
I have the HDB handguards on the stock 08 610 bars. You don't have to get new bars, unless you want. FWIW, I like HDB products, but those handguards look kinda ugly to me. I'd just relocate the signals as the others have done, or mount somthing cool to the unused hole in the middle of the handguard.
I am going to get the HDB setup with the turn signals and mirrors included. Should help clean up the front end.
Why would you want to get Zeta if you can get the HDB ? The guards where made for the 08 model which has the fat bars, my 08 610sm was the test mule and the fit is perfect rofessor: http://www.cafehusky.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1798 BTW the new integrated signals looks great on the HDB guards
