Why do you want dual filament for turn signals? Not even sure what that is...

For the front of the bike. One element for turn signals one element for running lights.

That's not dual filament. Having a running light option for your turn signals is not about the bulb, it's the wiring. Most aftermarket turn signals are only 2-wired, whereas our bikes have an extra third wire for the running light. If this is what you're looking for, then do a search and you'll find a post where somebody used a diode and they got their turn signals to act as running lights as well.

In the case where a dual filament would be used is in the headlights where you want the same bulb to be your low beams as well as your high beams.

I am sure I do not then understand your post or the original question. I have found most companies that produce turn signals make them both ways. I just installed a set on my bike from Lockart Phillips. Virtually every model of 2 wire light will also have acorresponding model with a 3 wire light from this company.Look in Chapparal (sp) or Dennis Kirk, etc. and you will see for yourself. Honda has been doing this on their street bike turn signals with running lightssince 1973. Maybe the words element and filament confused the answers. The nice part for me in doing this, is no resistor(with it's high temperature)was required, like is usually needed with using diode type lamps, or changing the flash stat to correspond with the change in resistance from diode to filament types of lamps.

No, you will only have either turn or running lights, depending which feed wire coming fromthe bikeyou use. Of the two wires on the new light, one will be the ground and the other will be for the bulb.

Try PROTONS, they have both the wiring for turn signals and the running lights as well. I have them on my bike but haven't found others that do the same. Check indysuperbikes.com or supperbikesupply.com

I'll second the Proton flush mounts. I have them on my 05 600RR and my wife had them on her 04 F4i before she got her 600RR. They are very visible and have a couple different flash patterns.
