Oberon turn signals

I just installed a set of Oberon bar-end Turn signals to clean up the front a little. I wasn't sure about them at first but I think I like them. What do you guys think? They seem brighter than the cheap-o LED's I had on before.

This mod is one of the first ones I fell in love with
It seems like a very very good idea!
My only reason for not doing it is that I'm scared of how complicated it might be. Are you willing to do a write-up?

I wish I had thought of doing that before I installed them. I did a good "How-To" when I installed my crankcase breather valve...I guess I was just anxious to slap these on.
It was really straight forward. I removed the headlight to get better access to the wiring. I removed the old turn signals and then (here is the scary part) I cut the connectors off the wiring harness. I then installed the Oberon signals, ran the wires down the inside of the clip-ons, trimmed them to length, then soldered them to the wiring harness on the bike. The lights themselves installed just like a set of bar-ends, with an expanding collet. I shrink wrapped the connectors then hat was it. Put the headlight back on and I was done.
Ever since I learned how to solder (youtube video), I have been a soldering junkie. I have cleaned up so many wires just by trimming the excess, re-routing, then soldering them back together.

No resistors? Was determining +/- required?

Nope, no resistors. Wires were the same color as the Duc harness, black and white. too easy, hooked them right up and they have a standard flash rate.

those look amazing. too good with the rizoma mirrors
i want these now, but my clipons arent open on the end near the triple, did you have to drill a hole to route the wires down?

Thanks
There was a plastic plug, which I punched out with a long piece of left over bar stock.
I really like the dropped look of the clip-on's and the low Rizoma's too. I want a new headlight, then the front end will be done.

These are definitely on my list of to-do's, but I was wondering if they have an expasion set so you can use bar-end mirrors at the same time. I have broad shoulders so standard mirrors just won't cut it, and I hate the look of the little extensions you can buy.

I really like that look. My next set of mods include cleaning up the lights and looks of the bike. I'm doing a tail chop, integrated rear taillight, black clip-ons, and some sort of cleaned up front blinkers....and these look awesome.

Stopintime, you're like the resident accessories lexicon. In fact, I'm pretty sure you have most of the part numbers from monsterparts and motowheels memorized:)
