Be careful though buying the cheap ones. The first set I bought cheap and the wires were to short to even hook up.

www.D2moto.com has flush mounts for the F4i for less then $15 with a 25% off deal right now, but I can't comment on there quality. Use coupon code WS25 during checkout, and you basically get free shipping.

I have the hotbodies flush mount signals with the diodes and shrink wrap to convert the 2 wire to 3 wire for running lights. I know how to wire everything Im just waiting on the LED variable relay to slow down the blinking. I know its been covered a zillion times but I cant seem to find a straight answer! On a F4i, what is the easiest, most unintrusive way to remove and install the signals (i.e if I only need to take off 1 fairing OR can go in through the front wheel well then thats what Im looking for) Im not looking to take off more than I have to and am wondering what exact plan of attack I should go with. Thanks

front wheel well...Just try to slide the black plastic thing out of the way, should be enough room to get in there.

When I did mine I just took out the black push pins in the wheel well, and one fairing bolt. Had more the enough room to do the wiring, and get everything back together.

I like that! Smoke I'm guessing? Do they flash amber? Are they at all bright enough to see?

Yes, they flash amber. You can see them, but like I said previously....I wouldn't count on them being noticed from head on. All flush mounts reduce turn signal visablity, and if that is a concern you are better off using a stalked signal with a smaller lens then the factory elephant ears.
