Has anyone ever used an LED light bar type turn signal on the front of their Sportser? I am thinking of something like this across the forks: . I am hoping to get rid of the terrible bug eye turn signals that I have relocated to the forks yet still can't seem to accept the aesthetics of. You don't need turn signals in Virginia so I am considering ditching them all together but wanted to seek other opinions first. I do realize ditching the turn signals may reduce my visibility but these halogens are so dim I can't imagine they make me more seen during the day anyways, and I don't ride that much at night.

 

Check out this style on eBay:

You can also do a search for "Sportster led turn signal 39mm fork" to find others. Anything that helps me communicate to other drivers/riders that helps reduce the chance of them hitting me, I'm leaving on the bike. Ditching turn signals for the sake of styling is a bad idea in my opinion. The ones above are subtle and pretty cool.

 

Thanks. I did find those after I posted. Perhaps I should try searching before I rush to post!

I know that people will give me **** for wanting to ditch the turn signals and I’m ok with that. We all have different opinions and that’s what makes this forum such a great place. Like I said though, these halogen signals are barely visible in the day anyways. I’ve already upgraded the rear signals to LED. I don’t think I’m losing much visibility or communication by changing the front signals.

I really like the turn signals you posted. I would certainly choose those signals over no signals at all. I think I’ll be buying a set.

CD makes great LED gear.

 

I used these. They've held up great for a few years now.

 

Turn signals may not be required, but turn signalling probably is.

I wouldn't wanna let go of the bars just to let folks/Leos in front of me know I'm turning.

It mighta been safe in the 70's when the law came out, but sure ain't now!

Post dem pics!

Hand signals are acceptable form of communication in VA.

 

Thanks for the input guys. Going to check all of those options out. Custom dynamics look awesome but man they are pricey!

 

So I found my solution!

Wasn't happy with the look of those bug eye bullet halogens on the forks, so I am moving the turn signals back up to the handlebars, but replacing them with the above. I think it will really clean up the look of the bike while maintaining visibility.

 

Those aren't turn signals, running lights only.
