Well, so I've been contemplating adding turn signals to the bike for some time now. I just think it would be safer. I mean, you can use hand signals and all, but not always when you want. The signal hand is also the clutch hand. Plus, I've been getting mixed messages about whether or not they are required by law in Washington. Some say that the bike is grandfathered in, due to its age (it didn't have signals when new, it doesn't require them now). Some say that the Washington turn signal laws don't apply to motorcycles. And a lot of web sites list Washington as a state that doesn't require them. But the RCW that applies to turn-signals seems to suggest otherwise:
So anyway, Ive started the process of trying to retrofit the SL350 with turn signals. Apparently these were optional items when new, though I think few had them. The parts for the SL350 specifically, like the handlebar switch, are nearly impossible to find. But there are available substitutes from other vintage hondas. Here is a little video of some initial testing of some of the parts I've acquired.
