Default Flush Mount Turn Signals

Hey Guys looking for some ideas/experiences with front flush mounts. Any suggestions on brands to buy or stay away from?

Thanks

I have Hotbodies LED flush mounts Motorcycle LED Turn Signals, Hotbodies Racing . They fit into the factory detent in the fairings, like they've always been there. I've had great service from them w/ no problems whatsoever. You can wire them as signal-only or wire them as signal & running light. There's a great tutorial here on the forum on how to do this... https://cbrforum.com/forum/how-mecha...-inputs-84998/ . There are more expensive options but the HB's are quality at a reasonable price.

Good luck w/ your shopping.

I love my hotbodies. They've been thru hell (rain and a wreck) and still work great. They're reasonably priced and work just as well as the day I bought them.

I have had the generic ebay ones for 5 years now with zero issues.

Question.......are these as visible to other traffic as the stock ones? I really like the look but not at expense of visibility to oncoming traffic? any feedback?

Short answer - no - not as visible from the front as a front-facing signal. Its the tradeoff for flushmounts.

So there's no misunderstanding... They can be seen from the front but as the question was asked, they just aren't as "visible" as front-facing signals.
