What indicators are you flashing?

Hi i have front mini spear indicators. when i got the bike it had horrible circular clear lensed carbon fibre wannabe indicators that looked nasty and didnt show anyone i was indicating.
I now have these mini spear indicators which are amber lensed and slightly bigger and other road users can see them. I want to replace my rear ones but i dont want them as smalll as my front indicators as on the back i think they wouldnt be that noticable.. Im wondering if there is anywhere you can get normal sized indicators that arent big and square and lumpy like the standard ones. Or does anyone have amber minis on the back of their bike and how visible are they? I find my front ones quite visible as the front end of the bike is quite small and compact and i have the long stem indicators so they show up very well. im just wondering because they are quite small will they show as well on the back?

I like the stock Buell indicators.

I like these and what I have on my bike. They are LED and show up very well at night. To me seems brighter than stock.

This is a close up of one of the signals:

This is them on the back

+1 on the buells, thats what i just went to. I have the factory blinkers if you want some big bulky things hanging off the rear, but i would recommend buell and they are pretty darn bright.

I am all about stock...

I have three super terrible aftermarket signals that I keep meaning to replace with a full set of stock buell signals. I've had the new signals for months, but the bike keeps having other problems that seem more important than having all my turn signals function (things like oil leaks and front brake failure). Some day soon I'll install the buell signals and finally stop having to use hand signals every time I make a turn.

I have stock 08 lenses but am looking at smaller ones. Only problem is the smaller the idicator the smaller the flash and I like to be seen.

Love how neat and tidy the smaller micro lenses look though.

WOAH, I have to know where those mirror turns came from, how much they cost, and where I can get me a pair!

Sweet ride galah. Tempted to go for the same indicators on the rear. They seem bright enough and are nice and easy to see.

I have Phillips-Lockhart l.e.d. flushmounts up front and license plate mounted bullet ones in the rear. Super small and super bright.

Dude what is that on your seat. Trying to keep the mind out of the gutter but looked like someone had a little toooo much fun back there! Get some soap water and armor all on that quick!

Signals are nice though!

Shouldn't that have read "Trying (and failing) to keep the mind out of the gutter...."

LOL, Mary, that had me laughing

I actually bought the bike with the seat like that. The bike was an 07 clearance model that the stealership had leftover, I bought the bike in Aug of 08. They had two F's and both of them had the "white stains" on the seat, I bought the one less stained. I tried to get it off, but to no avail. I have since bought a passenger seat cover and it covers it up nicely, that way everybody's mind stays out of the gutter

By the way, the fun happens on the front part of the seat as we know!

Have you tried the armor all gel? Kripe it looks like well you know. Geeze why is my mind in the gutter? Anyhooo, it works well on my seat. Boy I'm just digging a deeper hole aren't I?

Shutting up now but the gel that looks like uhm! You know what I mean!
