I think you would be far more successful going with Mirror mounted signals like come on some late model cars. Usually these are above the shoulder line, and visible from the rear of the bike. OOHHH damn, did I just give away a money making idea? Or, you can do what I did with the lights in each bag that are stop run turn leds.

Makes me think of Goldwing riders. I'd market the helmet directionals to them.

I can see it now, a leather jacket or vest that plugs into an accessory outlet with lights mounted on both shoulders that can be seen from the front or back. Another Ron Popeil money maker

haha well they wouldnt be huge directional signals theyd be fairly small. and the directionals on the back have already been done.





im talkin about putting them on a helmet. im working on building something like this. it would be a wireless system. im just trying to figure out whether people would be interested in buying something like this or not.
