Flush Mount Front Signals
I'm looking for a pair of flush mount front turn signals. I've noticed several members listing as having these on their bikes. Any insight, links or other information would be great - Thanks in advance.

I just bought these for my VTR.

I highly recommend getting a set that uses 3 wires so you can run the dual filament bulbs.

inderrocker,
Did you need to make any modifications or cutting into the fairinig? If not these are exactly what I am looking for as well.
Thanks!

Do NOT get the low profile three wire setup.
Besides my own meltdown (pun intended), I know of at least one other forum member who experienced problems. Not enough room for cooling with the lamp constantly on as it's a running light which was THE reason I got them. On an all day ride, mine actually got hot enough to melt the surrounding fairing!
I don't recall the brand name but they were cheap.

I finally got the turn signals and installed them at once. They are just big enough to cover up the4 hole that the stockers leave behind. I can't find my wire kit so I'll have to hook them up another day... but for now, they are mounted.
I also got my led tail light in at the same time. I usually don't like clear lenses all that much, but it just seems to work oh so well on this bike! This is the one I bought... ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...177907834&rd=1 )

Spiffy lookin, inde. IIRC, those are the same side flushmounts Ive got....keep burning up the bulb on one though.
Oddball question, are those gutted factory slipons? They look really oe-shape, but bitchin.

The Watsen Design are $138 USD, expensive yes, but they have either a 3 LED or 10 LED design. Constant on as running lights at half power and full on for blinking.
LED = guaranteed not to burn fairing, lower draw on electrical and generally a brighter light.
$138 might be worth it.

I've got the same signals pictured above but with the extra running light in them. Somehow the lens popped off the right side so I just ordered some Lightworks LED's that are triangular. $26 after tax.
RIP Zy! You will always be in our hearts.

Lightworks LED's. Bright but single filament only.
