definetly go with protons

they are pricey but very worth it

they also let you keep the running light feature.

they come clear but a lot of people (myself included) buy a can of tamiya clear amber model spray paint and color them amber

there is a write up on the specifics at

http://hooliganbiketech.dynup.net/ho...frameindex.htm

also here is a pic of mine
the amber looks great on the black bike by the way

they are year specific as well
the 04/05 has a different hole in the fairing than the 06
proton realized this and changed their design to accomodate

watson http://www.watsendesign.com/Honda_Pr...a_products.htm I have a pair on my 2006 f4I and they look awsome. Made of aluminum and then painted with 10 led's each blinker. Easy to install and plenty visible.

I have a pair from CUSTOMDYNAMICS.COM. They are pretty much the same as greggs. I like them.

i dont like the greggs
they dont project forward only to the side
my buddy has them on his rc51 and we did a test of him coming straight at me

from 30 yards away and straight on it was very difficult to see them
during the day

someone coming head on would have a lot harder time seeing the signal than either the protons or the watens

plus the greggs look like a sunny side up egg

I agree with Baxsom about the visibility of the Greggs flush mounts on the 06. They are really recessed and are difficult to see head on. I had them installed by the dealer when I purchased the bike this past spring.

I thought that they installed the Greggs 05 version on my 06. It looked like Nevaeh Speed’s picture of the Hot Bodies lights a few post above. I couldn’t be bothered taking the bike back to the shop and start hassling with them about the install. I didn’t want to give up the bike and lose riding time, no matter what the reason. I did jury rig the back of the lights (between light & fairing) with some foam. This made them flush, just like the picture of Mga ODEN 04 1000RR.

I like them and now they are truly flush with the fairing and can be seen from any angle. I am thinking about switching them out this winter for the Protons. It’s probably just a passing thought and nothing will come of it. The Greggs are still at the top of the “to buy” list.

I have to agree on the hotbodies. Turn signals are for the people up ahead and facing you to see that you are turning. The hotbodies are recessed into the fairing.
the only people that will see that are those that are directly beside of you looking at your side.
