turn signal Q

[masonjs at nrtco.net]

I have the same problem with an old Honda XL250R.  But with it I can't 
just buy the rubber stalks.  I have to but the entire light and wiring 
at $40.00 @.  The rubber stalks oxidize and crumble.  Mine went a 
little early .  I found you don't touch them when the temperature is 
-30 C (-22 F)
