I am going to visit my bike next week, and I have to do some rewiring on the rear turn signals. Can anyone tell me what gauge wire is used on the turn signals? Thanks

It's either 18 or 20 gauge wire on the signals. I'd use 10 just to be sure.

And HOW can you connect the 10!! Go with 16, If you are running more than two feet. If it's just the last foot, go with 18.

Actually, I have ample wire. The PO added wire to the harness, and I have about 4 feet of slack for each turn signal. I just want to buy the bullet connectors before I leave so I can spend my visit working on the bike instead of at the store. If I remember correctly (and that is not a given) the wire the PO added was the same as what he was adding to. It seems that the connectors are made for 14-16 and 18-22 gauge. Is Geezer right on the stock size and Diver Ray just suggesting using a thicker wire as added insurance? I appreciate the help!Dave

HeHeHe... kinda reminds me of the movie 'Mr. Mom' w/ Michael Keeton...
the part where he comes into the kitchen with the chain saw, cause his wife's new boss is a high roller, and Keeton just lost his job at the car factory...
Her boss asks him, 'What's with the chain saw?'
He replies... 'Gonna do some remodeling in my spare time off... gonna rip out all the wiring and redo it...'
Boss says, 'Gonna make it all 220?'
Keeton replies, '220, 221, whatever it takes...'
That's a classic if you haven't seen it yet!
