Just posting some pics; turned out good, took about an hour. I had to get creative on the front and fab a piece for the rear screw to mount against. All in all they are quite bright and look 10000x better than stock. I'm happy :D

Very nice
Looks great. :thumb:
KOOL, where did you get them & how much were they? :thumb:
I got them on ebay for $13.99/pair. They also have a website so I suspect you could get them there too;

I've had them for a day and only been on one ride with them but I'm quite happy with how they turned out. I can't believe how much they "modernize" the bike. The stock fatty's always bugged me.

Agreed. The fist sized OEM indicators were a little ugly for my taste also.
What size bulbs do they take? I bought a matching set of cheap signals only to find it was a special order bulb. Once one blew, they all got swapped out.
They take a pretty standard 12v 23w amber halogen. Funny, I didn't even think about bulbs when I bought these...Out of curiosity I just called my local bike shop and read them the bulb number to check, and they have them in stock - $1.39 a bulb. Phew. I did get 1 spare with each set so I have 2 spares which was nice.
looks great dude! So much better than the stockers. Did you have to cut the wires and resolder them?
They were a 2 wire setup, the fronts were literally a direct fit with the exception of having to fab up a backing "plate" so they would fasten to the faring. I just used a piece of round black plastic the size of a small drink coaster, drilled a hole in the center of it to feed the threaded stock bolt through then fasten. As for the rears same as fronts, a direct fit with no extra fabbing needed, existing stock washers worked perfect for mounting. I did have to do a little wiring but nothing major, just extending and re-connecting. Used typical wire connectors.
I think i might go with something like that in the front (maybe LED) and go LED integrated in the back... I hate turn signals on any bike... they kill the flow IMHO.
They look good. Someday I'll get around to posting my signal install.

I like the integrated look on a show bike but I put practicality over looks on any bike that's driven on the street. I know a guy with a gsxr1000 who put a strip of LEDs on each side of his tail fairing for his turn signals. Looks awesome up close but you literally can't tell they're even on past 20 ft. during the day. Bikes just need to be seen.
