Default Recommended LED flush mounts

I am looking to install flushmounted LED turn signals in my CBR600F3. I'd like something bright, easy to install in the existing fairing holes, and of course reasonably priced JamesTSi suspects that the F3, F4, F4i, and most of the early 2000's Hondas use the same style of front flushmount, so they're all compatible. Can anyone confirm this?

For $12 inc shipping got the variable load flasher relay JamesTSi recommended: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...FS-1-FLAT.html

This one was also recommended on this forum - and it fits the F3:
Custom LED Electronic LED Flasher Blinker Relay - Plug And Play


Thanks!

while i can't confirm that all the flushmounts for the listed bikes are the same, I can attest to the relay. I bought mine off of ebay. Unplugged the original and replaced it with the new relay. works perfectly, slowed the flash rate back down to a normal rate

It was going to be orange but while I was mocking up the f4i fairings another member here thought that the silver from the f4i fairings went good with the purple so I just left it that way. Works great on my f3 too so I would imagine you will have just as good an experience

Arrrgh! The F3 oval spaces for the flushmounts measure 32.5mm at the widest part and 54mm in length. The flushmounts that were advertised for the F4i were way too small only 29mm at the widest part and 50mm in length.

So 2 questions, does anybody know the dimensions of the spaces for the CBR600F4?

Any recommendations for flushmounts for my CBR600F3? I also ordered mirrors with LCD turn lights - so bright is less a factor than cheap

Orange- ur bike looks awesome even though it's not orange- your color scheme really works.

I installed the variable load flasher relay JamesTSi recommended and the wire plugged right in even though there were only two wires: Super Bright LEDs - Error Page the only thing was the old rubber sleeve to hang the relay wouldn't fit the new one. Oh and in case anyone was wondering- the relay DOES work on the old OEM turn signals.

The F4 & F4i have the same exact spaces/indents in the fairings for front sigs. I'm using the HotBodies LEDs on my F4.

I originally wired them as 3-wire running/signal lights like the orig oem signals (as seen here - https://cbrforum.com/forum/how-mecha...-inputs-84998/ ), but later went back to the 2-wire - signal only setup. They have a quicker blink rate but are quite noticeable as opposed to the slow oem blink rate.

Hotbodies do look great but they don't make one for the CBR600F3: Honda, 2009-11 CBR600RR, LED Blinkers, Hotbodies Racing

Any other suggestions for LED turn signals?

Correct, they don't. Was simply stating as an F4 owner, the measurements are same as F4i...& what I'm using.

You can use about any flushmount signal w/ backing plate(s).
