cadnmax do you know where you order from to get them and do you needto change anything or did they just plug in to the old spot
i got a pretty good deal off of ebay, you can find them else where on the internet but they cost a bit more.
here is the wiki link the steps that require no fairing cutting are on the bottom  :thumb:

Cdnmax, I love how your signals look, I read the wiki, but I was wondering what signals you actually ordered.  Would you be able to provide a link or more information?

Thanks :)

What wattage bulbs do the GSXR indicators use?

And any pics of your bike with them installed  :icon_mrgreen:

I don't know wattage but they are bright and well visible. A bit smaller than stock GS's and have nice (sharper) shape. They blink in regular speed (neither crazy fast, nor too slow) just like stock GS I believe (not sure tho, cause my bike came with crazy small blinkers).
If I have time during the weekend and the weather is nice I'll make a video and post it on youtube. OK??
cheers

nice, thanks for the link flipher.  The wiki was a little confusing, but I agree that it's probably real easy once everything is infront of ya.

Now I'm debating on which one to order, black/amber/clear or black/clear/amber?  as cool as black/smoke/clear would like, that's not gonna do anything for visibility.

Black with clear, with one of those silver coated orange globes by Philips would look good. The lens would look really clear without any hint of internal orange.

I really only like orange lens on blue bikes.

does anyone know if they have to be amber in CA i kinda want clear but if its the law they have to be abmer i will just go with  if anyone konws shear

What wattage bulb doers the flush mounts use?

ie. did fitting them make the turn signals flash faster?

No idea about the wattage again, but my flush mounts don't flash faster. Even tho they look good I don't like them. Barely visible for guys in front of you  :nono:

the light has to be amber but the lens can be any color. I'll clarify the wiki when I get. A chance.

Would it be possible to get a front view pic of your bike with one of the flashers on?  Just to gauge visibility?

I got the video of front and rear turn signals as well as short moment of front view. I have to download it to the computer and post on youtube. I'll start doing that in half an hour (I have to order SIDI B2 BOOTS NOW  :icon_twisted: )
Be patient - as soon as I post the video I'll let you know!

OK here is the video.
The quality was so much better before youtube messed it up...
I hope this will help you choose the turn signals wisely  :thumb:

PS in the end of the video is the short moment when I show the bike from the front - as you can see the turn signals are visible but if you position your bike on the intersection ready to make a turn, people in front of you WILL NOT see your front turn signal. I have to get rid of the flush mounts!!

Yeah, I know, and I said I don't like them! Previous Owner installed them and he cut ugly huge holes in the fairings so for now I have to stick to them. As soon as figure out how to cover the holes I'll replace flush mounts with pair of GSXR front signals!!.

cheers

I really want to get my hands on some GSXR mirrors with the turn signals integrated. I'm sure there has to be a way of mounting them that doesn't require destroying the mirrors or fairing to fit them.  :icon_lol:

I'm also after some GSXR 2003-2004 rear signals but they are so hard to come by on ebay for some reason.  :dunno_white:
