Default Flush Mount Turn Signals

One question I have and I know it was probably already posted but I can not find it. I have just mounted F.E. kit on my 061kRR today and it looks freaking great!!!!!! Now I look at the beast and I do not like those front stock turn signal. Has any one of you mounted flush mount turn signal on your 06 model and if so where did you got them from??? I am desperate to change those stock ones!!!!!!!!!!!!![:-]

Watsen Design is what I used. Here are some pics, not specifically of the front signals, but you can see them pretty good:

Thanks so far for the reply. I went to the website and looked at them. The look awesome in you bike. What I like is that I can order them in blue since my bike is blue/yellow.

OldFatGuy,

If you care it looks like your Watsen front signals were meant for the 04/05 1000RR's. Watsen makes a spacer for the 06 that pushes the signal out a few mm's because the 06 plastics, where the front signals mount, are more deeply recessed. If you want you might be able to call Watsen and see if they will send you the spacers to push them out a bit.

Actually I just ordered the Hotbodies flushmounts from a seller on eBay...I'll post pics when I get them on. It's funny that you noticed how much you did not like the stock front signals after you put on your FE. This is exactly what I realized too last weekend...and I ordered flushmount right away....

Now...wouldn't you know it...the freakin' mirrors are looking ugly to me[:'(]

How would some trick bar end mirrors look? I saw some on a ZX10 and it was very sporty.
Just a matter of finding the right ones I suppose.

The Watsen flush mounts are also supper hot. When I found out that if your stock front turn signals get bumped hard your fairing will break, that was all I needed to know before I spent the quid on my orange Watsens and I couldn't be happier with them. They are real attention getters too. People are always saying how trick they look and want to know where I got them cause you don't see them every day like the others.

Hey! Who put the ad in my thread?

I talked to Brad at Superbikesupply.com about the Protons. I had protons on my F4i and really like them. Apparently the socket where the front signals sit is a little deeper than previous years. I guess the '05 and prior Protons will work on an '06, but I've been told that since the hole is deeper they almost look recessed. Proton is supposed to have the updates done for '06 models within a month or so, so I'm waiting for them.
