turn signal integrators
 
been looking on ebay for turn signal integrator kits. found these two:

and another one from "cyclemods" that i can't seem to find anymore. any suggestions on which one works best?

You may or may not know this but at night they just look like your pressing the brake, not turning right or left.

yeah.. i've noticed that on a couple of bikes. i was thinking of installing a divider between the bulbs to keep them seperate.

be carful, let someone else ride and follow your bike to see what they look like. I put an intergrated set on my hawk but removed it and istalled smaller turnsignals. I was unable to see the turnsignals and or the brake lights very well.
not happy with the kit. (lights) so after making the changes... I feel much better on the road.

Not sure what all that kit has to offer but it's straightforward to wire in a trailer converter from the auto parts store for about $12. It's worth putting in the divider even though it's tedious disassembling the light unit. I also kept the same style of connectors so I could easily go back to signals if I didn't like the visibility. I've ridden behind my own bike and think it's fine. Looks like this...

$12... sounds like a deal... unless you want to get rid of your jb?

I rewired mine. turned the integrated turn signals into brake lights... now you can really tell what I am doing. I also added small but bright turnsignals onto a custom bracket off the tag.

I purchased one of these last month. It's made by Clear Alternatives. This is a complete lense assembly, bolt on and the brake & tail light connectors plug right in. It is a sealed unit consisting of a LARGE number of LEDs. The turn signal wires must be tapped into the bikes wiring however (with supplied connectors), and resistors are included in the package to make the turn siganls flash at the proper speed.

The case part that mounts to the tail section is very thin and seems weak, but it is very flexible. When the siganl is activated, all the LEDs for the tail light on the same side go out so that the flashing AMBER is absolutely brilliant. The only thing that bothers me a little is that when the brake light comes on, it lights up across the entire lens area and makes the Amber signal hard to see.

My objective here was NOT to replace the stock signal, however, but to increase visability of my intention to change lanes/turn. So I have this unit wired along with the stock signal lights, and therefore have no need for resistors.

I would NOT have bought ANY clear lense setup for any reason other than this. Don't really care for the clear look, but this one is definatley a keeper.
