Default Anyone seen this?

Has anyone seen this? I was thinking about this so I can remove my front signals and clean up the front end a little bit.

Yep, see them a lot on custom bikes. My friend has it or something similar to it on his lowrider. Whoever he bought it from was apparently not real keen on turn signals. He has the Panacea taillight with integrated signals on the rear as well. Can really see either from **** during the daylight to be quite honest in my opinion. It's apparently not just me though because he is now so conscious about it, he gives hand signals when he turns. I guess something like this would keep you legal if you live in a state that requires them. But other than that, not safe during the day in my opinion. Of course, being lights, they show up better at night.

Another option, if you aren't doing this now, is to get some fork clamps and move the signals down there and get them off the handlebars.

I got rid of mine and used one of my LED pods from my led kits as a turn sig... look right under my headlight... Loner Industries is currently working on making a braket for them so they can be used a bit differently... i would wait and see what he comes up with... that guy is pretty amazing with metal...

I've got them exact ones on my bike, surprisingly bright for as small as they are, BUT it is true they aren't that visable during daylight, but then again to most cagers neither is a motorcycle

I saw it on a custom bike. The key is that others see it on the road. I wanted to clean up my front end too and opted for the LED mirrors.

do you think replacing the bulbs might help make them brighter?

The problem I see with this and others like it is that they are too narrow. The lights are too close to the center of the bike and even if they are seen, it is difficult from a distance to tell which way you are turning.

I have this on my bike, unless you are at a small intersection with a car on the left or right, they won't see your signals because they will only see your headlight. Even at night pretty much. They are perfect for the guy who wants a clean look though and couldnt care less about turn signals
