Flush mount signals for the front
 
Hey guys, looking to get some flush mounts for the front, was wondering if which ones are the best and if they're even visible at all from the front? I see a bunch of different kinds on ebay, and it seems like most people have the hot bodies signals.

I found these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-07...QQcmdZViewItem
and http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-06...QQcmdZViewItem

They seem identical to me, except the second one is hot bodies while the other is unlisted and cheaper. Any difference b/w the two or should i just get the cheaper kind?

i've gone through 2 sets of flushmounts and i can tell you for a fact....
1)they aren't visible for SH** from the front, you will NOT be able to see them from the front especially during the day, so if visibility is what you are concerned with leave your OEM signals on there. the flush mounts are purely for asthetic looks and to skirt the law about "having" turn signals on the bike
2)brand makes ZERO difference, they all work the same and all all basically the exact same piece--IE: a light bulb, 2 wires, and a plastic cover....doesn't matter if they are made by ACME, Hotbodies, or Ferrari, they are all the same

I like the GSXR turn sigs are in the mirrors.

Before I read the posts, I was going to ask about the safety of flushmounts. It didn't seem like they would be very visible. I was considering them, but I do not want to put myself at even more risk than I already am in my dailey travels.

I may get them, simply because it seems like the rear signals are far more important than the front. I can't really think of why the front signals would need to be too visible on a motorcycle...I do like the signals integrated into the mirrors, but i would still need to find something to block that gap that would remain after removing the OEM signals IF they made turn signal mirrors for the F4i.

Hot bodies seem to fit the best in the factory spot

I haven't seen any aftermarket LED turn signals that are bright enough durning the day.

That being said, the Hotbodies flush mounts look good.
