I like not getting smacked from behind because some stupid cager can't see my signal :)
then shoulder check
those look like standard arrow style from lockhart phillips, turned sideways to face the center. no, not the safest-in fact just installing the smaller ones will compromise your being visible (day or night) in my opinion. I always stuck with OEM, even when I did the Buell signals...Buell OEM signals were actually brighter than my OEM suzuki.
It looks like they would be hard to see from most any angle that mattered. How would the right turn signal be seen from someone on your right if its facing the left?

they are very visable and they work very well my wife road behind me the other day after i installed them and she could see them just fine.and as far as the person to the right how many people use there blinker to change lanes anyways. by the way they are phillips and work very well.

I do.
i live in gulfshores ala.and i don't use a blinker to change lanes.
I always use my signals. turning, changing lanes, w/e. I will also use hand signals when changing lanes if it seems there is a particualrly absent minded cager behind or beside me.
I always use my blinker and hate it when others dont.
one thing that i found out a long timeago is that no matter how safe you are you will still get hurt(1997 i got ran over by an old woman that never even looked twice or even a third time)
if your that worried about being caged do what one of the guys at my work do .. he uses his hand signal even though he has his turn blinker on . have to rember . no matter how big or how small a blinker on a bike . the amount of them paying enough attition to see it is pretty slim . heck our bikes are bigger then our bliinkers and ppl still dont see us . but so you dont start ranting . i under stand the smaller blinkers vs oem vs bla bla bla . i'm just saying .
Those are installed wrong...
I'm gonna post a pic in a couple...
Here's those pics... This is from LockhartPhillips.com - 2006 catalog - page 210
Thse are designed to be attached BEHIND the plate. That's why you can't see the lenses on the correct side.

(in regards to the original post)
Those look way out of place, unfinnished and virtually invisible... :cookoo:
well i just thout i would share the pics.i like them there and i am not going to change them because i will be getting a new bike in june and not going to have the gs anymore.but i figure that i have it now so i will play with it.
Just remember, getting rear-ended sucks... Or at least that's what I was thinking when I looked between my knees and saw the roof of Kia Sportage about about 5-6 feet under me... The police report said "fully ejected"
well if they are not looking for me in the firstplace does it realy matter if i have bliunkers or not.i mean if they can't see my blinkers then they can't see my brake light.so that means that they did not payattention to me being there in the first place.blinkers or not people that drive cars all the time don't look for us anyways.
What about the people who do look for you... Like all the other bikers who are caged up... I've noticed that I'm more aware of bikers when I'm caged since I'm a biker myself. If I can't see their blinkers, I won't know about their future lane-change or turn...
Yes it does look nice, but I'd rather have stock look than have a smashed up look. Just my $0.02.
and thats cool bikers are the ones you don't have to worry about most of the time.but if you really think about it 95% of the time it don't matter if you have blinkers a mile wide people in cars don't watch,look,or even payattention to people on bikes thats the way it is and the way it will always be.unless they start making roads for streetbikes only.like i said before i got hit in 97 and the woman that hit me from behind told the police that she didn't even see me.and i was at a complete stop brake on and blinker blazen.i guess i was lucky she was going slow but thats besides the point.i still got hit with blinkers.
there are actually fewer bikers looking out for you that drivers, comparitively.
blinkers or no blinkers if they are put on right or wrong wat does it really matter you can still get killed or hurt eather way you go about it.

Hey Buzz, we need to get together sometime for a ride as the weather gets better...
Just ask when you are ready.
