front turn signals on the 86 Aero 50 are butt ugly

Post by Dan Diego »

Has anyone else noticed that the front turn signals on the 86 Aero 50 are butt ugly? They stick out in the breeze shin-high and look like Honda completely forgot about them until the day they produced the first scoot... #afterthought. How are cagers supposed to see them when they are all of 15 inches off the ground?

Anyway I cracked the lens on the right one so before I buy one does anybody have a better solution?

You don't deserve an oem lens after all that nb50 disrespect... Just playing;).
To each their own, but from certain angles I absolutely love the oem blinkers. Aftermarket are doable of course, but most will require custom fitting. I don't know of any that will bolt on in any existing area of an nb50.

Also The overseas version (vision 50) has integrated blinkers in the headset plastic, but I can't confirm that it's identical to the U.S. Nb50's

Honda Tact for the rest of the world is what you're looking for. DOT dictated where those NB50 (US Spec) front turn signals are located.

They're in a great location for the U.S. model....sensitive, yes, but great.
