Low Bar

Post by BCSANDERS » Fri Oct 21, 2011 4:52 am

I am trying to source the winkers for my 64 CA77 which were standard on the 64 C77's which were imported to the uk.
The front ones are no problem although they are plastic bodied.
Rear ones seem to say low bar type what does this mean ?

Some Dreams had separate castings to carry the rear winkers, like mine. Later ones had the winker mount built into the rear damper brackets. There were also short lenses, like mine, and taller (later ones)

Are yours completely missing? Send some pics of the rear of your bike and what you have of winkers, if poss. Do you have a handlebar switch for the winkers?

Hi,
The black dream is the bike I have now, the red dream is the bike I had new in 1965 which I am trying to replicate(thats me on it I do not look like that now).
So the winkers were large type.

Probably too large. You may need to resize it before attaching it.

I do not have the winker switch yet they seem more easily obtained than the rear winker lense.
If anyone can let me know if these are still available anywhere as per the ones on the red Dream pictured.
