Hey guys,
Two questions about this. Are you talking about the left and right turn signal lights on the back of the bike?
If so, is that legal in Canada? I was under the impression that in the U.S. turn signal indicators had to be amber by law.
Somebody educate me on this please.

WingMan71 there was a time when manufactures made signals amber "yellow" on almost every make of vehicle. Today you will rarely see an amber light on the rear of a modern vehicle. In my state of Tennessee you can not have an amber light that is used as a running light, and when an amber light is mounted to the rear of a vehicle it must be used as a signal. Of course all running lights are red, and signals can be red or amber.
Tracker wants his rear signals to be red, which is legal in my state.

Tracker, William
I don't like the amber either. So the red repair didn't look good to you? Was the color way off from the other reflectors? I was going to try it this weekend. Just don't know of a different option.
Thanks for the info.

I posted this information on another question about amber lens:
My sidecar had two red and one amber light lens on the rear with 1157 sockets/bulbs. The amber is wired for tail/turn light. The two reds are wired for tail/brake lights. It is illegal to have amber running/tail light on the rear so I used the paint that someone on this forum recommended for the changing of saddlebag amber to red lens. Worked well for me. The red painted amber lens is just not quite as deep red as the two original red lens.
GL1100 Saddlebag Yellow Lens- I painted the Yellow lens with Testors Candy Apple Transparent Model paint - from Wallyworld, use the spray can. under $4. 2 -3 coats on the inside of the lens. (Testors 1605 Transparent Candy AppleRed Model spray paint)
