Unlike most bikes, I don't find the stock turn signals on the Scrambler to be ugly at all.

However, I do not like the width of the spacing on the front signals, as dictated by USA regulations - they just stick out too far.

Luckily, Ducati has used a couple of spacers on the U.S. models, which are super easy to remove. Doing so will shorten the distance between the two by almost three inches, resulting in a much nicer look, IMO..

This is a super-easy mod, requiring just a hex key, 10mm wrench, some M6 x 20 bolts and 3 minutes of your time.

Here is the stock setup with the spacer installed, just remove the single bolt and nylon jam nut holding it in place.

The spacer used has a notch at the bottom, so no disconnection or cutting of wires is necessary.

Reassemble everything (sans spacer) using a M6 x 20 bolt and the existing nylock nut. Repeat on the other side.

I really think this cleans up the look of the form end pretty well. Like I said, it moves the signals in almost 1 1/2" in on either side.

Couldn't be easier.

Oops! Disregard the 3rd photo in the original post, refer to this one instead...

I figured that out when I installed my Dart fly screen. I agree that it looks better without them!

Indeed looks better, thanks for posting this!

Cheers tony, a mile modification that has a surprising impact. NArrows the bike visually by just 'that' much!

wish the rear could come in a bit...

Ditto, does look a lot better without the spacers for sure!

not that I know of. Im still in the honeymoon phase and have stopped looking for **** for the time being. the termi exhaust keeps me super happy! >

Looks good, but it's 16 inches from center to center in Mass.

I wouldn't mind if people actually used turn signals here. I think it's viewed as a sign of weakness. Using headlights in the middle of a Nor Easter would also be nice

 

[scrambledchef]

You aren't kidding I don't think they know they exist here in the northeast. I would not even care if they used hand signals.

16"? DOT has similar unenforceable rules... Do they actually break out a ruler and measure? Whether it be add-on ticket or annual inspection.

Awesome job. Looks good. You saved me some money. Every time I look at the front turns, I feel they are way too out there, sticking out like a sore thumb. This is a great and easy mod. I smoked my turn signals so making it shorter would look badass. I honestly do think the OEM signals aren't bad too especially after I smoked the lens. Thanks!!!!!

 

[Carlo Recio]

Just did mine. Looks good.

I took out my spacer too ( almost have to in order to put screen on).
