front turn signal Q

[David King]

Drew, I sold my GPz several years ago but as far as I can recall there wasn't anything holding the front turn signals on except that rubber piece. I had the same thing happen and just got some new replacement parts from my local Kawasaki dealer. They were cheap, but I don't know what kind of luck you'll have as the bike is now 20 years old. You might have to fabricate something if you're unable to find replacements or make your old ones work. Good luck. Dave.
