After chopping the tail and installing a smoke integrated tail light I want to do something about the front turn signals that just look out of place with the rears removed.

Any thoughts??

I am also looking forward to any opinion or advice on this, as I am in the exact same situation. With an integrated tail light, those front turn signals have to go.

Some pics would be very nice...

These are small and brighter than LED's imho. Stock holes, well made......

FYI- those oval signals are sold under several different names (I dont think Lockhart makes parts in-house)
they should be avail at most bike shops for around $15/pair
they are a good deal and look like a part that could have come on the bike from the factory.

Rizoma signals cost too much...but those are my favorite

I have DP Performance signals up front.  Very very bright but only a good deal if you can buy them used like I did.  If I was in the market for signals I would probably go with Oberons.

The ones I mentioned above from Lockheart are the good ones, Their are a lot of junk that looks the same IE Ebay.

And then their are these extreme little suckers............Not sure if he is making them yet?

Bingo! Love your suggestions - quite expensive but very cool. The Ducati Performance ones are great:



Also, the bar-end ones from Oberon are outrageously nice (though I quite question their visibility):

I have the Oberons and they are easily visible and bright.

The thing I like about the Oberons is the window on both sides.  I remember one member saying when they signal at night the whole lane next to them lights up.  If you put them front and rear even better.  Although I do like the look of an integrated tail.

I love the look of the Kellermans, but man are they fragile.  I have snapped off the two I put in the rear several times while doing normal maintenance.

+1 on the Kellermans.  Love the look as well but after blowing a bulb got too frustrated trying to change it out.  Ended up with these and love the a TON!
