Sweet, thanks for the info.  I have nothing against the integrated signals, but I can't clearly see them in your pic, maybe I'm just missing them....but I'm BIG on visibility, so if there's any question on the visibility of the integrated ones, i'll stick with the midget ones to the sides that i know will be visible.

Integrated and midget LED turn singnals are very big out here (big as in popular, not as in large).

Nohow, noway are they as visible as the stockers.  LEDs, in theory, should be brighter than incandesents - but I have yet to see a non-stock LED setup that's even close to as bright as stockers.

I don't see the sense in spending money to make your bike and your intentions less visible.  If you're jonesing to spend money on your bike, IMO spend it on brake and suspension upgrades, gear, and pro riding instruction.

Yea I ran into the same prob today with the wires being too short.  I really wasn't pleased with them for two other reasons. 1) They blink faster than the originals and 2) you can see the freakin' poly board that the LEDs are connected to (with all the numbers and technical data) thru the lense. It just seemed kinda cheap looking to me.  But the wire length can easily be adjusted but does anyone have any suggestions on the flashing lenth? I'm thinking about just sending them back and getting the mini stock GSXR signals instead! They are pretty sweet lookin'! Anything to get rid of the big, ugly, GS stock dildo flashers! :icon_lol: Anywho, if someone has a suggestion for adjusting the flash rate, holla back! Peace! -Ike

Nevermind about the flash rate. Motosport.com sells the relay to go with the flasher set.

DON'T ORDER THE ONES I RECOMMENDED FROM JC WHITNEY!!!  They are tiny, have only one LED and they are mounted with adhesive (no hardware)! I went to a local motorcylce dealer and got some actual non-LED marker lights from Lockhart Phillips!  They look so much better than both the stockers and the tiny LED and they're plenty bright and visible!

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned that (I didn't read entire post) but the best flush mounts are NON AT ALL.

most of them suck and provide half of the visibility of the stock turn signals.
get some nice looking stock GSXR 04-05 turn signals or something similar.
I just got rid of my flush mounts that were installed by PO.

PS. I'm not trying to be rude, just want you to be safe.
Flush mounts look cool but keep in mind how visible they will be to other road users aka "cagers"

cheers
