Looking to run Kellermann bar end signals on my bike but I want the rear lenses RED so I can rig em up at brake lights too.

Does anyone know of anyone who can make a set of lenses from a stock example provided?

Thanks,
Nordog

Why not spray them with translucent red paint? ALOT of people do that on cars with their turn signals.

Does it work?  I guess so.  I'll give it a try.  If it turns out good I'll have one of those "I-coulda-had-V8-Headslap" moments!   laughingdp

Corners used to be yellow. Those were sprayed with the red translucent stuff.

Thanks!

Is that your car?  Does any of the amber show through, or is it just red?

That looks pretty good.  waytogo Can you be a little more specific about what kind of paint was used?  Is it specifically made for this purpose or is it some sort of translucent candy type automotive paint? Is the paint on the outside or the inside of the lens? Anymore info would be appreciated.

You can do the inside OR the outside of the lense. Thats not my car, but my last BMW I did that too. Only the red shows through so no more amber. Paint is Testors model spray paint in translucent red. No noticeable difference in light output on them either. When I did mine I just masked off the reverse lights and sprayed the whole lens. Obviously with just a turn signal lense you dont have to mask off a reverse light though Wink

Does that mean that your indicaotors are now red?
Is that legal, Is it safe?

On the back, yep, and yep.

One of my bikes already has and electronic Run/Brake/Turn module.  The kit came with red lenses for the rear.  Now the rear signals are red, and they operate as running lights, turn signals, and brake lights.
