has anyone used anything non-traditional for their turn signals?  I want to change mine, but I'm looking for some inspiration.

any suggestions?

Front or rear?  I use these stuck in the frame at the rear (you chuck the lame bezel and replace with an O-ring chosen from the assorted O-ring box available at the auto parts store, drill a small hole in the frame to run the wires, feed the wires through the hole and snug the O-ring so it keeps the light in place).  If the O-ring is too small the light won't stay, if it is too big the light won't fit.  ;D

+1 on Oberon LED bar ends.  They looks tits and the fact they locate the indicators at the widest point of the bike and are visible from front and rear is great for visibility.

those are all good suggestions, thanks.


what about something that's not supposed to be an indicator?

maybe something like this shotglass?

I've been trying to find these K&S Technologies LED barend turn signals in Europe.

Unfortunately I haven't found a retailer that can supply them.  :(

True, Radientz are pricey for most of their items but that link was just an example. Most of that stuff can be found cheaper elsewhere.

hmm.. well I found something that has inspired me, but not sure where to get the material.  Tried to find a local supplier but they want me to buy 60 feet of acrylic...
