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

That stuff is Junk ! If you do get them start using your arms for signals !

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.

Check these out. Fit the f4i too. I mounted em "in" as far as possible, but you can easily have em stick out about 1/2" more. The little led pods face sideways and forward for good visability. https://cbrforum.com/m_172826/mpage_.../tm.htm#173967

Are they much different than the hotbodies flushmounts?

I think they stick out more, and they have a led pod facing forward. Comes w/running lights, all the stuff that was in the original post.

You could do what I did and be orginal. I cut the turn plates out and filled and smoothed them to the body and installed leds in the air vents. Its pretty sick. And who cares if you can see you front signals unless you dont look before you turn in front of people and hope they see your signal and stop for you.

I had those exact LED's and they were useless. I would not recommend them.

They don't list for '04-06. Are they different?

They actully do make turn signals intergrated for the f4i. I just bought it off of ebay a few weeks ago. just do a search for honda cbr intergrated turn sighnals and you should get it. I had a friend do the install and he told me they look good. I will see on thursday or this weekend when i pick the bike up.
