Title: What do you think of barend signals?

All I can say is a bit pricey.  I'll stick to my $40 for a pair of 8" amber led strips for the fairing.

those are the exact ones I thought they'd be. I've seen them on ducati monsters and I'm not a fan...

The only thing besides price is that they probably stick out too much

Just get some spikes to stick out the side and fack stuff up while you're lane splitting.

shouldn't they be facing the other way
wouldn't it give you a bigger viabration in the handle bars

Actually, you can face them any direction.  Facing the towards the rear will benefit the asshats who MIGHT rear-end you.

Don't they have lenses front and rear?

Personally I find them ugly. But they are all the rage in Europe. (But then, so are tails that look as if you'd just been rear-ended by a mack truck.)
