Default Short Stalk Signal Suggestions????

Okay so as my 929rr build goes on i decided to make some custom led mirror block off signals... no big deal... well once my supplies started coming in I realized that with the mounting angle of the mirrors I think the people to the sides of me will have no issues seeing them but Im not sure about the people in front of me... so im either going to go with one of two options...

use something similar to this




or a short stalk front signal...

so throw out some suggestions

The inside panel strips are bright and keep the lines of the bike clean.

The inside ones are sick looking and keep it clean as said above. I have Hotbodies flushmounts and they are alright but i wonder if i could wire these on the inside with my hotbodies on the outside?

You think that would be an issue?

thx for the input guys... and fenatic you shouldnt have any issues doing that... only thing that could possibly happen would be increased flash rate... if that happens let me know and i can send you a how to on the remedy...

the guy selling those led strips i posted above wanted 30 bucks for a set... but i found this..

same product but you get five for $18.50

i think flush mounts are sufficient because people all around can see you turning it on and it keeps the bike line semi clean. i think they are safer.
and for me, since im a new rider its all about feeling safe on the road. but thats just my opinion. dont do anything that will make you feel unsafe and doubting.

Nice. Thanks for the look up. Ive already got an increase flash rate due to the hotbodies but i like it. However if it does increase more ill hit you up. Thanks

People can barely see you to begin with. You think they can actually see you turn your signals on? Flushmounts are nice and help keep the body lines of a bike clean but you can't hardly see them from across an intersection.

Flushmounts/intergrated mirrors is the way to go IMO

I was reffering to scorpions post. Lol.

If you're going with block off sigs and interior positioned sigs you still won't be easily visible from the sides. I would go with sigs in that case....or flushmounts and blockoffs. What're you gonna do for mirrors?

going to try and find some nice bar ends i like...

as for side visibility... the mirror block offs are prominently for the side... thats why i wanted to add some for the front... bc of how the 929 upper cowl sides are angled
