Default Light Smoked front indicator lenses

For the Mk2
A bit pricey, but different.
CBR 1000F - Brand new high quality clear front indicator upgrade | eBay

Right here and they would look good - but smack me upside the head with a
sledgehammer ! - that's stupid money for some colored plastic and a few bulbs.

+1 I can just about buy a bike for that money.

I did do a bit of a search and could come up with no other source at the minute though

Just paint yours using lens tint spray or some other kind of paint made for lenses. It's a lot cheaper and you can get it as dark or light as you want.

I'm going to call Al Gore, he'd know where to find them on his internets

Stay tuned - I'll try and track down where they are made

Okay Al was in the Sh!tter but he did point the way


FOUND ONE SITE

Beginning to suspect these are German made !

Second Site


3 rd EBAY DE


Oh and they have the rears too

das ist die info

Thinking the German pricing includes 18% VAT
so maybe they are in the 40 Euro range

Pete ! why the heck do you torment me with this stuff ! ?

Looks like the bulbs for the front turn signals are 1034 HD's? Was thinking about doing the clear signals on the front and replacing all the incandescent bulbs with LED's. After doing a little more research, it looks like the 1034 HD's are interchangeable with 1157's. And the rear turn signal bulbs are 1073's which are interchangeable with 1156's. Am I correct? Am I going to run into any problems by switching to LED's? I figured it would be OK since it would be less of a draw by switching to LED's...

Was looking at THIS web page at LED's.

Then, if I wanted to switch the brake lights over to LED, it looks like I have 2 color choices. Cool white and red. With a red lens, am I better off with a cool white bulb?

Default LED/HID info CBR1000F 90+

Hey:

Montanna/ Shadow
I have all HID/Tail/LED indicator bulbs, the holes needed enlarged a bit for them to fit, also that type does not last well from my experience try these, 2 x 1156/BA15S 7W Cree Q5 High Power Auto Signal Stop Tail LED Light Bulb White | eBay,1 x 1157/BAY15D 7W Cree Q5 Auto Signal Corner Tail Brake LED Light Bulb White | eBay plus you need a new flasher, as they need a new LED flasher unit to slow down the blink rate. Do not use resistors as they get really HOT. This is the company I used but they no longer have them listed for the CBR1000F but they are the same...3 Pin Electronic LED Flasher Blinker Taillight Lamp Fix Turn Signal 12V Honda | eBay and these for the tail tidy 2 Bike Bicycle Motorcycle LED License Plate Bolt Light Lamp White | eBay and 2 of these 35w 6000 kits on one bike, the highest you should go if you want to see in rain and low lunar times:Motorcycle Bike Bi Xenon HID Slim Kit H4 Hi Lo 6000K | eBay put the ballasts where the old coils were after new CBR1000RR coil mod. Also use the company above for the dash leds as well and get in colour you want. Lastly just tint your lens as mentioned above they look better IMHO and you can use all bright white leds that are easy to see by motorists in the daytime.2 CAN NITE Shade Tint Spray Headlights Tail lights Lens NIGHTSHADES JDM Fog Lens | eBay ...good luck
