Apparently 10 years is the life of the turn signal plastic because all four of mine are broken. The electrical tape holding them together gives the dirty beast rat bike cred, but is not a good permanent solution. Do any of you mod happy Monster owners have stock turn signals that you want to sell (at an amazingly low price)?

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I believe I do, when I bought mine it came with a box of stock parts. I'll check my storage today when I go into town.

On the rear it's more likely that the fender where the signal attaches is broken... at least that was the case with mine.  I switched out the stock upper rear fender with the DP Carbon Fiber one, no more electrical tape!

No, they don't need to be stock. Cheap is a requirement, though.

i put these on my S2R.  they look like the stock lights but are about 50% smaller and much cleaner looking.. $16/pair.

He said 10 years back, which makes me think it's a 1999 or 2000 model.  Those Monsters had square indicators.  Yours are later model.

I picked up a pair off Ebay a few years ago that look like a smaller version of the old square type for another bike, I think I paid $10 for the pair and they shipped from China.  Still running well.  If I can find the seller I'll post.

My bad, I am but a mere grasshopper with Monster ownership, The OP stated 10 years so I subtracted 10 from 2010 and came up with 2000, and my bike being a 2001 I figured it might work. Which is why I posted a pic and asked him.
I consulted Mr. Google for an image after your post. And he lead me to believe this image was true.

Mr. Goggle and I stand corrected, and bow before thee master. [bow_down]

And I thought people living here didn't know what those little blinky lights were for.   ;)

Actually, I think you are correct.  I know the older models had square ones at some point, but I think I am wrong on the year of the change.  I looked at some 1999 and 2000 pics and they all had ovals, so I am pretty sure those are correct for any 99-2001 model. 

Thanks for keeping me honest!   [thumbsup]

The ones on my 1999 M750 were square, I am 100% positive.
