LED turn signals for motorcycle handguards – universal version

No, and this is the most common misunderstanding about this product. They can only be installed on LOBOO handguards because the mounting points are built into the handguard body; an original handguard or one from another brand has nowhere to accommodate them. “Universal” refers to the motorcycle, not the handguard: they are designed for vehicles with the indicators in standard positions.

No, for the R 1300 GS, the manufacturer specifies the dedicated CZXD131 version. On that motorcycle, the front indicators are integrated into the headlight assembly, and LOBOO expressly recommends the specific code to preserve their functionality. They cost the same, so there is no reason to choose this one to save money.

No. This item is only the turn signal kit, a pair. LOBOO handguards are purchased separately and are required for installation.

Ambra, as requested for the turn signals, and four LEDs per indicator. The number appears neither in the price list nor in the manual: we counted it in the manufacturer's official photographic documentation, and we mention this because we prefer to state where a piece of data comes from. No photometric values exist: LOBOO describes them only as high-brightness LEDs.

LOBOO does not declare any approval for this item, and since no such information is available, we do not publish one. Turn signals are devices subject to regulations: if you need confirmation of approval, ask us before ordering and we will forward the question to the distributor.

The manual specifies a rated current of 190 mA ± 10 mA and an operating voltage between 9 and 14.6 V DC. The modules operate at constant current and have reverse-polarity protection, which matters more on this version than on the other one: here, you work with loose wires, so it is easier to reverse them.

If the flashing is faster than normal after installation, it is the classic sign of a load lower than what the control unit expects: it can be resolved, but it needs to be resolved. LOBOO does not indicate which motorcycles require it, so we do not claim that they do.

The manual describes four steps: drill the handguard at the indicated point with an 8.5 mm bit, thread the cable through, glue the module into the designated position, and connect the wiring to the indicator’s original wires, then sealing the connections with electrical tape.

The electrical connection is what makes the difference compared with the dedicated version: that one uses a plug-in connector, while here you splice into loose wires and need to identify the correct cables on your motorcycle. If you are not familiar with electrical systems, it is better to rely on a workshop: a mistake involving a signaling device is more than just an inconvenience.

Yes, and it is good to know this before ordering. The manual instructs you to drill an 8.5 mm hole in the position indicated on the handguard, to route the indicator cable from the front side toward the inside. The cable then runs through a groove already formed in the handguard body.

The modification concerns the handguard, not the motorcycle, and is permanent: the hole remains even if you later remove the turn signals.

With an adhesive strip already applied to the back of the module. The manual describes the procedure: clean the area with the alcohol wipe provided in the kit, because the adhesive will not hold on a dusty or greasy surface, remove the protective film, align the module with the designated position, and press firmly.

The manufacturer asks you to let the adhesive rest for 24 hours before relying on its final hold. The two wipes are included in the package, one for each side.

These are components designed to be mounted externally on handguards, but LOBOO does not state an IP rating for this item, so we do not publish one. It is one of the details we are requesting from the distributor.

The manual is explicit about cleaning: if you use a pressure washer, keep at least one metre away; wash with a neutral detergent and a cloth or soft brush, never with acidic or alkaline products, which the manufacturer identifies as causing irreversible surface damage; dry any residual water immediately.

The manual's parts list includes four items: the left indicator, the right indicator, two extension cables, and two alcohol wipes for preparing the surface before gluing. The package also includes the installation manual, printed in eight languages, including Italian.

The handguards, 8.5 mm drill bit, and electrical tape that the manual instructs you to use to seal the joints are not included.

The manual instructs you to connect the wiring to the original indicator wires, so the handguard turn signal operates using the same control as the factory one. Whether the original indicators are left in place or removed is then up to the installer.

This decision should take into account that regulations require a specific number and positioning of indicators: if you have any doubts, discuss them with the workshop before installation.

Because of its position. An integrated indicator in the handguard is at hand height and at the motorcycle’s outermost point beyond the mirrors, while one mounted on the fairing sits behind the handlebar line and is often obscured by the rider’s leg or luggage. It’s not a matter of light output, but where the light is positioned when you change lanes.
