Title: non-traditional turn signals? Post by: Privateer on February 15, 2013, 03:08:56 PM has anyone used anything non-traditional for their turn signals? I want to change mine, but I'm looking for some inspiration.
any suggestions? Title: Re: non-traditional turn signals? Post by: Moto Motivo on February 15, 2013, 03:13:48 PM I like to use these.

I use these stuck in the frame at the rear (you chuck the lame bezel and replace with an O-ring chosen from the assorted O-ring box available at the auto parts store, drill a small hole in the frame to run the wires, feed the wires through the hole and snug the O-ring so it keeps the light in place). If the O-ring is too small the light won't stay, if it is too big the light won't fit. ;D

They looks tits and the fact they locate the indicators at the widest point of the bike and are visible from front and rear is great for visibility.

Title: Re: non-traditional turn signals? Post by: rozer on February 18, 2013, 02:16:48 PM I've been trying to find these K&S Technologies LED barend turn signals in Europe.

Post by: memper on February 18, 2013, 04:23:05 PM True, Radientz are pricey for most of their items but that link was just an example. Most of that stuff can be found cheaper elsewhere.

Post by: Privateer on March 02, 2013, 03:06:02 PM hmm.. well I found something that has inspired me, but not sure where to get the material. Tried to find a local supplier but they want me to buy 60 feet of acrylic... (http://twoslow.com/images/SSC-VV-2T.jpg) Title: Re: non-traditional turn signals?
