I have built several sets of my own custom turn signals for the CA95 and will be building several more in the coming months. But just for an example I will share pics with all.

The front using 7/8" 3 piece ricky "b" clamps custom machined to attach to the handlebars. Double filement amber lens bullet lights custom mounted on the clamps with custom chrome fasteners and chrome "conduit"

I used a 3 position 7/8 handlebar dip switch to control the lights

Here is a side view of one front turn signal, clamp & trim

I mounted the same bullet lights in the back bracket, but ran all of the wiring under the fender in the conduit already on the bike

You need to hide the winker in the headlight light bucket like this

I did a custom build making the rear fender trim conduit. This pic shows the wiring for the turn signals and additional wire for Buco saddlebag lights. This saves having to remove the rear wheel to wire the lights. But you have to run wire for about an inch between the trim and the side covers, so a little wire shows. All of the wiring is done through the side case openings.

You can also buy a right hand original style turn signal switch from asia and front blinkers from the same from ebay.

If you want original style rear signals, you can buy the lenses from ebay and fabricate light fixtures to fit where the rear plates are.

The winker still goes into the headlight bucket.

You need to be handy with wiring.

My builds will be in June or July. I plan to build some extra sets at that time. Some folks send me their handlebars and their rear fender trim. I install the front set with the switch as well the rear set. They wire them in from there. But it does get pricey as there is creative machining work, wiring and polishing involved.
