Title: Favorite Front Blinkers?
Post by: scooterd145 on May 07, 2013, 03:44:52 PM
I have shortened the stock ones, but alas it is time to move on to something aftermarket in the front blinker department. But which to choose? Anyone have a personal favorite? Small is fine (and prolly preferred). Image of my bike attached so let me know your thoughts...

 I have Rizoma Avio 21s on mine and I like them a lot!

I have not bought them yet, but the Barracuda "Quadra" led turns from Monsterparts.com are by far my favorite!  Would look awesome on your bike too.   [thumbsup]

thanks for the suggestions and link guys. I think I am leaning towards the Rizoma "Graffio"

Anyone used LED strips as blinkers??  I'm thinking of mounting them on the forks (vertically)

I found some on Ebay that would fit.  It seems however they only work on Ducati's with extended swingarms  [roll]

I have Rizoma Zero 11 on my 696. They are a lot brighter than stock and they show more on the sides/rear.

i dig barracuda products and jeff from monsterparts is a pleasure to deal with.

he also sells the oberons that i rock and love because they're visible from the front and back.

I've been using barracuda mini-vipers front and rear from monster parts for a few seasons and they have held up very well.   Also very noticeable for not being an led. Definitely suggest any barracuda product and of course monster parts.

I will be using strips. But not glued to the forks. That's a little too "chrome swing arm" IMO.
I will be embedding amber strips (maybe 10" in length) on the outer edges of my quarter fairing. The tracker tailpiece is gonna get the same treatment.

"Embed" huh?  It would be cool to see that finished product.  I've seen some wrap-around the fork LED signals, but at $150+ they're not an option.  I'll continue on the lookout.

What does that mean?? (newbie question)

If you can wade through all the chrome/skulls/truknutz, this place has some good stuff. And they use 12v LEDs so you don't need resistors.

That's where I bought the supplies for my brake light/rear turn signal thingy that I built a couple of years ago.

Just joking . . . this seems to be a mod seen in movies and "show" bikes . . . and remember DOT compliance ;D
