Default Flush mount lights

I own a 1995 cbr f3. Im currently resurecting the bike. It had trailer looking turn signals the front. I want to get flush mount lights but i am having trouble finding 3 wire flush mounts. Found some on ebay but when i made the purchase the seller jerked me around for a week then told me they were out of stock. Anyone have suggestions?

^ +1

and if you dont want them as running lights too then you can just electrical tape the end of the constant hot and they will work just as turn signals

Look at my picture here...https://cbrforum.com/forum/attachmen...k-003small-jpg

The turn signals I have are actually for a kawasaki 500, but they look a lot better (imo) than the stalks that come stock on the F3. Don't hesitate to expand beyond the stock bike search for things like this.

Thanx everyone, being that i'm a mechanic splicing some wires is no big deal. Just didnt know if that would hurt anything. The bike didnt have stock lights on it when i bought it. I dont think there are any diodes on the wires for the turn signals. Will have to check. If theres no diodes are they important to have and where can i get the right ones?

I dont know much about electronics but I would assume it the kind of diode matters for what you want the lights to do. these are the diode numbers redzintimidator listed in the write up 1N4001-1N4007. you can get them at radio shack or another electronic store
