New Front Turn Signal Idea - What Do You Think?
 

So anyone with the Hotbodies front flushmounts knows that the signals are a little hard to see from the front of the bike. Well, instead of buying some stalked signals to make them easier to see, I decided to add some LEDs to the air intakes on the front of the bike. What do you guys think?

And a movie to go along with it:

Should I make a permanent design and use it? Let me know what you guys think!

i thought about doing something like that...i like your design...nice work..

I think that is a wicked idea. I always get looks from oncoming vehicles cause they can't see my little flush mount indicators. If they can't see something the size of those ram air vents they shouldn't be driving.

Great idea dude. A write up would be great to see.

Thanks for the quick replies! Ill try to do some work to them over the next few days with a How-To as well.

I can download the video now but it doesn't play in Windows Media Player for some reason.

RE: New Front Turn Signal Idea - What Do You Think?
 

I have 2 versions of it up now, a 2mb Xvid avi and a 20mb Quicktime movie. If you can watch Xvids, then get that one since its 1/10th the size. Otherwise, the Quicktime one should work in Windows Media Player.

It looks good man.

Looks great! I have the Hotbodies flushmounts and I really hate knowing the people straight across from me at a 4-way don't know which way I'm turning. A how-to would be great!

RE: New Front Turn Signal Idea - What Do You Think?
 

Hmmmm, I like that.

RE: New Front Turn Signal Idea - What Do You Think?
 

Very nice. I second Kyle, a how to would be awesome.

RE: New Front Turn Signal Idea - What Do You Think?
 

i had thought about doing exactly this, but lacked the know how so i agree with all the others a write up would be awesome

RE: New Front Turn Signal Idea - What Do You Think?
 

Looks real nice.Looking forward to the write up.

RE: New Front Turn Signal Idea - What Do You Think?
 

That's an awesone idea. That will shore up any concerns with any flushmount turn signals. Great Job!!

RE: New Front Turn Signal Idea - What Do You Think?

RE: New Front Turn Signal Idea - What Do You Think?

You need to patent, copyright, and trademark it. Very cool. Go get a job at Honda.

nice mod... do my bike next!

RE: New Front Turn Signal Idea - What Do You Think?
 

He can't patent it. Since he published his idea, his idead is now public domain. Plus the amount of $$ and time he would have to spend to patent it would be hardly worth it.

looks sweet....my buddy did the same thing with his gixxer....he actually bought LED strips that look nasty!
