I don't mind the amber, especially on a more subdued bike like this one, I just wish they were a little smaller.

Juan, do you have any idea why the aftermarket signals blink so fast?  I remember some threads saying that people had problems if they went to all LED set ups, or if they had ground issues.  I'm sure you know about those problems so I'm just wondering if there is another issue that I should be aware of.

Nope, I have not figure that one yet, perhaps some one else can help out. I do like the way my stock turn signals look on my bike, however there are some aftermarket ones that are sweet as well.

Very nice, subtle improvements, I like the stock blinkers

AFAIK, the fast blinking is a problem with the wrong resistance. You can just buy a resistor at radio shack, just make sure you get the right one. This is all on recollection, and I'm too lazy to go to TOB where they've talked about it extensively. Can someone confirm or correct me?

Helping a buddy wire his 2007.5 Aprilia Tuono with LEDs right now.  Bought two 10 ohm resistors at local electronics store for 6 bucks each.  Wire in parellel and it fixes the issue.  I just went with small NON-LED signals in front for my bike and integration Options Italia in back.  The back is a sweet set up.  No resistors, don't even have to ground wire for original rears.  Just plug everything in and go.

That's pretty much the same setup I have.  I have the CA integrated tail light and because I saw threads on people having problems with LED front and rear, I got the cyclewerks non-LED mini blinkers for the front.  I'm pretty sure that there is a block resistor that comes with a kit for all LED setups.  I remember seeing it on Monsterparts I think.  It might have been another parts site but I think it's pretty common.

I know man, I know, those turn signals are ugly, I have two different set of aftermarket signals at home, I have try putting those but, # 1, I don't like how they look, and # 2 they blink much faster than the stock ones… I am afraid they will burn something in my instrument panel

Very Nice overall.
Maybe you only need to put an inline resistor to "slow down" the signals.

Just did the Juan mod (front fenderles) mainly because i still haven't got my 1098 fender (dam britisch basterd)

I love that Juan bike, very nice red frame

Juan

Beautiful..!!!   [cheeky]

I like the look of those pipes..

Very nice…!! two into one..

I want to get a new front fender I don't like the stock it should be carbon fiver
and will have it painted red at the front only, like from the forks to the front.
We will see how that goes.

I agree with all the positive comments which is why Juan's M1000 will be the DMF's first B.O.M.b!

Congrats Juan!!! dr::
