Default Opinions on Rivera Primo headlight
Anyone here have the Rivera Primo headlight? It's the one with the LED turn signals built in..looking for opinions on how good the signal visibility is, and what your thoughts on it are.

I was able to find a video, but in the video they show the blinkers, the light on and off, but never activate them at the same time so it's hard to tell how well they work.

I'm looking to clean up the front end and get rid of the stock signals so this looked like a great option.

I like it. Great looking headlight as long as function is as good as form. I guess a lot depends on what bike your putting it on?

Thanks Kiwi, I think NeoContra's bike is similarly styled (21" front, etc), and this is why I added my 2 cents.

I agree! That bike of course just flows so well! Everything just seems to belong to together and transition and melds ver nicely! Love the white walls!

Thanks for the input so far guys. I'm leaning towards it because I'm putting Alloy Art signals on the back of my train, and so am now looking to clean up the front signals.

As stated above, form is great..just need to know how the function works.
