I really like the way they look and they're virtually hidden.
Just wondering how the heck they would mount up.
any suggestions for something similar?
You could probably put them on the bracket/frame that holds the passenger pegs.
In my opinion, though, those look useless. If you're going to do that I'd say just don't put turn signals on at all.
I think they would be neat as an extra light, but not as your only turn signals.
Maybe those along with an integrated tail..
the surface area of those is so small they are pointless. that, and leds are usually only a narrow beam pattern
get the buell blast signals and enjoy being seen.

I wanna get something like this and just remove my taillight. People never look at your signals away, whats the point except to be street legal.

Ya, and loose the 50% of people that actually pay attention, because they can't see your signals at all?
Integrated stuff looks neat in the garage, but on the road, you want the lights as far apart, bright, and largest surface area possible.
I had signals similar to those mounted front and rear on my GR, and while the listing says the light pattern is "visible 180°", they aren't even visible in daylight except for maybe 15°.
I did upgrade my rear signals to larger led's, but kept the useless ones up front. Knowing that they are practically useless however, I wave a lot of cars thru a lot of intersections (believe me.....people don't know what hand signals are......)
I prefer the big new style turn signals with smoked lenses. They look good and provide really good visibility. I've been behind bikes with integrated signals and can't tell which way they intend to turn. One bike had those miniature LEDs - I had trouble determining what that microscopic blinking light was. Visibility is important for safety.
If you have state vehicle inspections, you might get nabbed if you have non-DOT approved signals or only integrated ones. DOT requires they be at the same height and separated by at least 9 inches.
You can put on anything you want, but please do not whine if you get a ticket for non-DOT approved turn signals. A cop having a bad day could get you or add it on to your ticket if he stops you for something else (like wheelies on the freeway)
Smoked signals (which are legal because the bulb is orange)

Texas you don't even need signals... Who gives a damn... I never put myself in a situation that I need a cage to listen to what I am doing, quick decisive actions. Not to mention 90% of bikers ruin blinkers for the 10% by leaving the damn blinker on 24/7(can't say I am not also part of this problem sometimes).
I never even got blinkers to be honest, never trust anyone to signal correctly and I never will. I trust brake lights and that's about it.
How many times have you seen someone use a blinker only to fly past the next turn and go for the one or 2 after that. Blinkers are useless and once people understand that they will all be safer.
