A good friend of mine helped with the wiring (that I surely would have screwed up) and helped me install my new blinkers.









I like the streamlined look.

You'll also notice I took the time to paint my headlight bezel while it was off for the blinker install.

Thanks!
The exhaust is the SC-Project GP-EVO Slip Ons and I love them. Here's my bike on a video comparison:

The led blinkers are not expensive at all...  ;)

Flexible LED strips. I found these at AutoZone but they are also available online. You can buy in various lengths and most can be cut to fit.

They do not seem bright enough.  A local rider has something similar on his bike.  I have seen him signal but unless you are looking for it you would never notice.

I was concerned about that but they are just as bright as some integrated rear lights I've seen. They aren't as bright as the OEM blinkers in bright light but you can still see them.

clean install, but I'm concerned those LEDs won't be very visible to motorists. especially the fronts being so close to the headlight and b/c they aren't the superbright led's.

I have a couple of those led strips in the back, but as additional signals, not primary.

just be careful out there......

Hey Ross, thanks. Yup, somewhat similar to yours but I was concerned with the intensity from under the seat. Plus, I didn't want to be a complete copycat.  ;D

Aha...   [clap]  [clap].    I like your style  8).    So you didnt have to drop your forks to fit em or spend up $259.95 a set then, eh  ;) [thumbsup].

Those were the inspiration but the cost floored me. I tried making my own, but realized I was going to spend as much as the cost of the flexible strips with a high probability mine would fry.  [laugh]

Reeeeally like what you've done with your bike. Very tasteful mods IMO.  [thumbsup] Love the look of your seat! Where's that from? Was it pricey?

Thank you!  [beer]

I purchased the seat cover from Luimoto and had a local upholsterer add extra foam. Huge difference for me and made a 15 hour ride comfortable.
