Default Turn signals

What's everyone using as upgrades for the front and rear signals? This is for a low rider S so the rear need to be able to do the run/brake/turn. For the front I'm thinking the Custom Dynamic Ringz, though I'm still working on making sure I order the right ones! Unless someone here has something better?

Motogadget m-blaze disc up front and custom Motone Bates out back with a Badlands illuminator pro III controlling it. I'm going to replace the Illuminator with a Motogadget m-unit this winter, tho.

"Upgrade"? That implies an improvement. What are you trying to improve?

Brightness. LED over standard bulbs. I'll look into what you use.

Gotcha. My solution probably won't improve visibility for you. The m-blaze disc is pretty bright but it's also VERY directional and recommended for bars with a maximum wrist angle of 9 degrees. My rear signals are custom and unless you're will to make same mods won't produce the same results.

Maybe Kellermann blinkers would be a good product to look at. Most people say they are really bright and still stealthy.

I've never heard a bad thing about any of the custom.dynamics products either.

Something else to consider, if you like the current housings, is to use LED drop-in replacement bulbs. They are often brighter than stock with less current draw and all the other benefits of LED.

I like www.superbrightleds.com for retrofits.

I really like the Custom Dynamics Bullet Ringz. Real easy to install, they just pop into the stock housing.

I have the standard custom dynamics inserts. Very bright. Been using on my past three Dyna's

Edit: Sorry, for some reason I thought the question was on rears only. In the front IMO there's nothing better then the custom dynamics dynamic ringz. They are white for run, and yellow for sig. The white is particularly noticible and definitly adds to visibility on the road. Plus, people still notice LED's more then incandescent bulbs for some reason, even though they have been around for so long...

And lastly, they even help to illuminate the road a slight bit.




I'm not a fan of using a photo to represent how bright lamps are, since every camera and exposure setting is different, but it's all I got. The white are actually only along the outer perimeter of the insert (the "ringz") - you can see this in the lens reflection just above and to the left of the light sources in the photo...

+1 on the Custom Dynamics inserts. I have the rings/turn signal in front and turn signals in rear (I have a separate running/brake light in rear). I love them
