Default Custom turn signals...

I got this off of the how-to section on the forum. It explained on how to make custom turn signals out of your rearsets using individual led's. Well I did mine today and it was very simple and quick. It looks sleek and clean. Here are some pics.


This is a rear view and they are very visible to drivers behind.

As you can see, led's are pretty bright and not easy to miss.

They Look great, I think you should put some insulation around those wires though. They are low and will be exposed to water if you get cought riding in the rain.
How about a pic that is not a close up. I want to see what they look like from a distance.

Here's a view from behind. [sm=imsorry.gif] I know the bike's dirty and doesn't have fairings, but they'll be back from paint next week.

Very nice, Bikelitez actually does this for the less mechanically inclined, for a small fee. I'm thinking I might try this mod myself...

I'm sorry, I didn't check if the pic came up. Here it is.
