• Are these turn signals street legal?

  Yes, the Kuryakyn Torpedo LED turn signals are ECE approved, meeting European road safety standards. This makes them fully compliant for street use on public roads. Always verify local regulations in your country or region.

• What does the M10-1.5 x 25 mounting stud mean?

  This refers to the bolt that secures the turn signal to your motorcycle. M10 is the metric bolt diameter (10mm), 1.5 is the thread pitch, and 25 is the length in millimeters. Most motorcycles use standard M10 mounting points, making these signals universally compatible.

• Why might I need a load equalizer?

  LED turn signals draw significantly less power than traditional incandescent bulbs. Some motorcycles have electrical systems that detect this lower power draw and may not recognize the LEDs as functional. A load equalizer tricks the system into working properly with the lower power consumption of LEDs.

• Can I install these on any motorcycle?

  These turn signals have universal fitment, meaning they feature standard M10 mounting that works on most motorcycles. However, always check your bike's specific mounting points and electrical compatibility. Classic and modern bikes, including BMW classics, are typically compatible without issues.

• What is the difference between amber and clear lens turn signals?

  Amber lenses emit orange/yellow light and are standard for turn signals in most countries, providing excellent visibility and legal compliance. Clear lenses emit the light color of the bulb itself. The Kuryakyn Torpedo features an amber lens, making it the legal choice for street riding.

• How do LED turn signals compare to halogen or incandescent bulbs?

  LEDs are superior in several ways: they're brighter and more visible, turn on instantly without warm-up time, consume less power (extending battery life), last significantly longer, and generate minimal heat. This makes them ideal for custom builds where you want both performance and reliability.

• Are these signals weatherproof?

  Yes, the chrome-plated finish provides good corrosion resistance for outdoor motorcycle use. However, regular maintenance and cleaning are recommended to preserve the chrome appearance and ensure optimal electrical connections, especially in wet or salty environments.

• Will these work with my BMW classic motorcycle?

  Yes, BMW classic motorcycles typically use standard M10 mounting points and 12-volt electrical systems, making the Kuryakyn Torpedo LED signals an excellent fit. However, verify your specific BMW model's mounting configuration. These signals are a popular choice for BMW K100 and other classic builds.
