The blinkers you have are for the 1980 -1981  model  . They attached to the frame on a flat section welded to frame just behind the seat , and the front ended up on the brake n clutch pearch held on by the mirrors

The part about no prevision for a battery and charging said item makes  working   indicators a hard problem. Changing the wiring would  not fix that I am sure. Only one I ever made road worthy for registration ,I fitted a total loss battery system for the extra lighting, This bike was not used around "town" but as a sweep bike for enduros and required full rego.

Oh shit. Then I guess buying the 250C was a waste of money, least for reason I want it. Pitty, its a good bike apart from faded plastic's. Dump in corner of shed I spose.  Back to trying to sort the T then by looks of it.

Thanks mate. Was wondering how to mount the front pair.  :)

The common old TF 100 and 125cc yellow farm Suzis have the same mounts ;)
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

what state are you in? in SA we dont need blinkers.

the blinkers you posted are the only ever PE blinkers that were available. they came out on some 79 models and all australian 1980-84 PE's. they were also standard equipment on TF farm suzukis and on some of the white 250 and 400/500 Enduro model DR suzukis that were available with compliance plates in SOME states

Quicksilver i suggest you check out http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PEmotorcycles/

i spent many hours suggesting to to PE owners how to fit blinkers to PE's that never had them fitted, changing to 12 volt and a whole heap more of electrics stuff that probably confuses a lot of people ;D. it can all be done but depends on how much money you want to spend, how original you want it and how much time you have got to spend to do the mods.

in brief form yes you can get the charging coil off your 250 T stator plate and fit it to your 250 C along with the wiring loom, rectifier, relay, switches etc. and weld on brackets to your frame for the battery holder and rear blinklers. it would be fairly simple to do it that way. another way is a total loss system or even a total loss 12 volt system using a small 12 volt ni-cad type battery that can be mounted behind the headlight, under tank, under seat or in air box. you can then use 12 volt LED globes in the blinkers and you will easily get a few days rides out of the one charged battery using LED globes. you will need to have the blinker circuit separate to all other circuits and you will need a special relay to flash LED globes. when the battery gloes flat you then take it inside and stick it on the charger.

also on the PE forum there i s many CAD drawings of parts to re-manufacture. currently in the works is the battery holder. its all drawn up in CAD and anybody will be able to make a battery holder for a T, X, Z 250/400 & T/X 175 EXACTLY as original, with all details supplied. we havent started on the N 175/250 or Z, D, E 175 battery holder yet though.

also there is drawings to make the original blinker brackets and speedo brackets and more. this info is for members only though.

LWC.

I live in NSW mate. No way RTA would register it without blinkers, even if it never had them when new it must have them if its to be re-registered. If the bike had of been keept registered there would be no problem. To put the bike through blue slip on new rego it must comply to basic safty equipment requirements, that includes binkers.

Im not sure what I will do now. I purchased the 250C ( only late yesterday arvo ) as a short cut to restoring 250T into roadworthy bike. Figured whack the blinkers on the 250c and troll on down for a road worthy.
After reading you post I checked the 250T, it has a complete loom but I see no battery box, no rectifier, relays or any other of the equipment hanging off the harness.
Im a little dissapointed with whole idea. It would seem im not one for having much luck trying to get an old dirt bike on the road. First the MT250 wiring nightmare stuff up, now this.  ???

the parts like the rectifiyer, charhing coil, flasher relay etc are still available from suzuki and its also possible to repalce these items with cheaper verrsions aftermarket versions.

if you decide to scrap the 250 T and it has a complete reasonable wiring loom i would buy it off you.

I can't afford em mate at  85 pound for a 2nd oversize PE 400 barrel ( no thanks ) They look like DC plastics to me ( dull )  which I don't mind.
They have the gear but are way to expensive for me  ::)

Was it DC plastics you told me about oldfart? Got a link to them?

She scrubbed up ok with a bit of work.

Before.


After.



However to make a really nice bike out of it plastics should be replaced I feel.
