There are several options out there if you don't want the big bulbous HD signals. I went with some LED wrap-around signals that mount on the fork legs. I know there are other small ones out there too. Good luck!

Thanks for the imput guys. I had a sport bike before i got the harley and had some flush mount leds front blikers that were not visable from the front and I never had any close calls but it is nice having blinker its just the stockers are just ugly. Plus with my new bars they are to close to my tank for comfort.

Question, if I do decide to ditch them you think I can just clip them near the sigs and pull them thru my bars fairly easy or are they going to be a bi!ch to get thru the bars?

I love the clean look though without blinkers...so I say if you like the adrenaline rush every time you may get plowed into by an oncoming car...go for it
if you are making a left turn into on coming traffic, wouldn't you wait until you know you have plenty of time/ sure its safe to do so? a turn signal is not going to make it safe or not, lol. its WHEN you choose to go.

I've never had fronts, they are one of the first things to go! lol

Kind of my thoughts as well, I never rely on my blinkrs anyway I always assume that no one sees me and I take my dandy time till all is clear of moms in mini vans.

These wont ever look ugly, most people don't even notice them until they come on but still fully functional - in fact they even add a rear facing signal so visibility is better in some ways.
