I am helping a friend perform a fenderectomy on my GS500f and we are replacing the stock signal lights with something a little sexier. Will post pictures of the before and after!

May 24, 2008 at 12:09 am #6635megaspazParticipantSo it might be a useful thing… like at a biker rally… so umm… keep it!

around, I want it caught and shot now…May 24, 2008 at 9:44 pm #6661ShannonGParticipantI could land aircraft with these ugly bastids.
May 24, 2008 at 9:45 pm #6662ShannonGParticipantVery sexy with smoked lenses.
May 24, 2008 at 9:47 pm #6663ShannonGParticipantCleaned up the back and new signals.
May 24, 2008 at 10:33 pm #6667BenParticipantVery very nice
Much better than stock.

I freaked out a little after I ripped off most of the stock decals and put these on, but they have totally grown on me.
I can’t get the tank decals off; there’s a layer of clearcoat over them!
I am hopiing for a real custom paint job over the winter.Wow, I guess I should have saved some money and bought some new cedars for that hedge, eh? lol
May 25, 2008 at 11:17 pm #6704RobbieJParticipantThose new lights look cool but, I’m having a hard time dealing with the look of those mirrors. They look too much like bug eyes, to me. LOL.. They probably let you see more than others closer to the bike, I’d imagine but, damn I just can’t let it go. haha
May 26, 2008 at 12:16 am #6707ShannonGParticipantThey are hideous, I agree. I was thinking of getting mirrors off of a GSX-R but they look HUGE and they have an integrated signal light in them. I need aftermarket fairing mounted mirrors!
May 27, 2008 at 6:54 am #6732smadaakramParticipantI’ve often wondered if there is any loss of safety when changing over to smaller blinkers, they do look much better, but i wonder if they can be seen as clearly and as readily as stock lights…just a thought : )

May 27, 2008 at 2:54 pm #6742ShannonGParticipantThey’re surprisingly bright. I haven’t had any issues with people not knowing I’m turning yet.
May 28, 2008 at 11:13 am #6761smadaakramParticipantwell thats awesome! i would like to install some on my bike as well but was kind of apprehensive b/c i don’t want to loose visibility. how much did they cost ?
//@R!<
May 28, 2008 at 2:49 pm #6766ShannonGParticipantThey were super cheap, $30 a pair at the bike shop. If you’re concerned about visibility, make sure you get LED lights. They’re tiny but they pack a punch.
