Turn Signals-- OEM CLear lens modification

I found these on Ebay coming from Canada.
All four signals complete for $40.

They are Genuine Honda OEM DOT turn signals with Clear Lenses.
Identical shape of our stock ones.

They are NEW -from the Honda 929 blade.

I wanted to retain my running lights for great visibility at night. Also, I want my signals to be seen in many directions by cage drivers--bright and large.

I know the trend is to put tiny signals on these bikes but I just don't want to do that. I figure the clear makes the look at little more subtle but still retains the stock appearance.
Visibility is just like stock..outstanding.


Thoughts?

I know they look dorky...but this is why I won't go with the small LED's.
LED turn signals vs factory - YouTube

I was on a group ride during the day. The bikes that had these were invisible even while riding directly behind them.

I've been considering putting the stockers back on as well. First time I noticed this thread, first one other than you posting, Yeah!

I like the brightness of any stock turn signal over most of the aftermarket ones. To update the look of the bike and signals I switched mine to a set of 2004 Suzuki GSX-R rear turn signals and removed the front for now.

I'm not a fan of how the stock signals look and stick out (i shaved my fronts and got integrated mirrors and relocated my rears under the tail but kept the stock lights). The clear lenses help a lot with making them blend in.

If you sell your bike and want black wheels for it, ill trade you for the gold ones

Sounds like a good deal to me. I have a buyer who says he wants it from the Santa Cruz area. I will let him know unless he flakes out.
