Hey John, I agree they don't look very flush but their the ones i bought and to me they look identical to the ones 12pack bought. 12pack let me know if you still need help!

PhillyF4i: Let me define my opinion of "fits fine" then. If you take a look at the base of a turn signal on the F4i, pictured below, you'll notice that it has a rather distinct oval-ish shape that sticks out from the fairing near the front end of the bike.



When you mount the turn signal in question to the fairing, there's no way it will sit flush on that surface, no matter where you put it. Edges will hang over. It simply looks out of place.

I should also mention the way that signal is installed: the base is attached to the fairing via two screws, neither of which are anywhere near the original signal mounting location. So you have to drill two extra holes in your fairing to install them. In my opinion, where turn signals are concerned, you should have to do no other modification to your fairing to install them.

Also after those have been installed a couple times, they look like this:

Not exactly what I'd recommend doing to your perfectly good fairing. (BTW I bought the bike like this, not my doing )
