Hi everyone 
I am looking for the hardware for the fork ears
also rear turn signals 
I have everything else ordered just waiting for deliveries 
when the bike is street legal I will post a few pictures for everyone thanks 

Hardware fork ears? No problem.
Rear turn signals? Good luck, there. Might take a serious chunk out of your 401K when you do find them, too.

 If someone is selling just the hardware I am interested in buying 
the signals I am just going to get something decent 
they are very expensive like 100 bucks each
my bike is getting closer to street legal 
I purchased a new wiring harness from Deet 
and everything else should be here by the end of the week 
here is a couple of pics of the bike rode it today runs really good   If someone is selling just the hardware I am interested in buying

Nice work!

Technically a 1972 model does not need turn signals to be legal under Federal law and I've never seen a state that requires them if the Feds didn't.  But if you're not in the US or just want them you could find something and install 6v bulbs.  K&S has a pretty good selection.  The black rubber ones for the monoshock models would probably look great.

Thanks for that info I will look them up
 

They have two versions...  25-4015 and 25-4016.  Difference is threaded mounting stud length.  The longer stud ones are 25-4015. 


 

Thanks I ordered two of them 

You will need 6v bulbs for them.  Takes the same bulb as stock. 

I know the short studs don't work on monoshocks... too short to make it through the brackets and fender.  Hopefully the longer ones will work best for you too.

Here's a thread I just found that has pictures...  doesn't show the short stud too good but it's pretty short.

I note that you have already gone for some universal items, so my response will be for future reference.

The rear indicators on the DT2 etc were standard fitment to many models of that era. Having got stung in the wallet when buying "original" indicators for my RT2, I refused to fall into the same trap again when buying for my DT3.

I looked for any Yamaha indicators in the UK and was able to buy one as being off a LS2 and another off, I think, a CS5. All that I had to do was remove the extension spacer from one of them, change the bulbs from 12v to 6v and fit amber lenses (I'm in the UK).

If you need the fitting hardware and can't find sensibly priced originals, then ones from a XS650 will do the job. However, you will either need to drill a hole in the collar for the locating lug on the indicator, or grind away the lug itself. Again, I went left field for my parts and bought a set of cheap, used XS650 indicators that came with the hardware. The XS650 shop in Germany does new repops, so Mikes XS shop in the US might do the same.

For the fronts, I just went for fitment to the fork ears, as Yamaha did on their road bikes and the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) DT1s.

Photos of mine are attached - first photo is my RT2 with indicators bought as a complete set specifically for said bike, second is my DT3 with the ones from a LS2 and CS5 and third is the DT3 with fronts fitted to the fork ears.

These style of indicators came with two stem lengths and the rears had the longer ones fitted. I have fitted the shorter stemmed ones to the front, but longer ones might have been better from a safety point of view.

   

If you aren't going for an original "concours" look...  and you want to actually ride the bike as intended...  the later Yamaha version with the flexible stalks (either OEM or K&S... there are cheaper versions with hard plastic stalks, stay away from those) is much more durable.  There are some good "universal" ones out there too but the 4015 is actually a clone of an original OEM Yamaha part. They make a rectangular version too that was used on later Yamaha's like the US DT50's.

The original solid metal chrome stalks have a life expectancy of about 0.5 miles if mounted on one of my bikes.    I learned from experience to take them off and put them in a box.  Which is main reason why the originals are so expensive and hard to find.  Most were broken in use or tossed when cleaning out the garage.

I have the rubber stalk OEM and K&S versions on a few bikes and have not destroyed one...  yet.  And it hasn't been for a lack of trying.

(For a while there, every group ride video had a scene of me falling off...I learned to stay away from the cameras! )

They also make a matching front version that clamps to handlebars...  headlight ear mounts look nice but weren't legal in the US which is why they didn't come that way here.

Here's my old DT175 with the 4015 style on a typical ride. 



If you ever do want the completely original look, following Alan's advice on looking at other models will save you a lot of $$.  I haven't looked in a while but sometimes MikesXS has some pretty nice reproduction stuff too that is very similar to the early chrome DT parts and/or can be adapted.
