Default Turn signal question?

Is there any flush mount LED turn signals for the front that will always be on? All the ones ive been looking at say that you loss the driving light. Also I have read that the LEDs will flash really fast bc of current. How bad is it? I actually think it might look cool and make me stand out more to other drivers. What do you guys think? What flush mounts do you guys use? Thanks!

I have Protons. Running light, no resistor needed, programmable blink style.

Not cheap but very cool.

Yup, pretty simple wiring job. I'm sure you at least have a friend who could knock it out for you.

See this thread... https://cbrforum.com/forum/how-mechanical-40/convert-2-wire-signals-3-wire-inputs-84998/ .

I'm using HotBodies LEDs. Great value & look good too.

Look for 3-wire flush-mounts. Look at my bike in my profile, my front and rear are both "on" all the time with blinkers. I got mine for $13 per pair from Sportingforless.com. Just seen you took care of it already.
