OK people, I would like some input on flush mount turn signals.:thinking:
I know some of you have true flush mounts, Karen, Keith, Eric, Ticker, and probably more.
What I would like to know::blah-blah
What make of flush mount do you have?
How visible are they from the front?
How much did they cost?
How happy are you with them?
Would you buy them again?
And did they come with factory wire harness attachments to machine the stock signal harnesses?
:nerd:
I am not at all concerned about wiring in turn signals, but considering that I will be expecting to pay between $60-$100 for a pair of high-end flush mounts, I figure they should be coming with factory wire harnesses.:idunno:
(Pics and/or URL links to a site would be greatly appreciated.):clapping:
Thank you to everyone for the information, and can't wait to ride with you all soon!!:yes::ride::rad:

I got mine from Steve at Discount Motorcylce store. They are maybe Philip Lockhart (not sure) I had to clip my old wires (all two per side) and twist on the new wires. They are not too visible from the front which kinda sucks but they are flush. I've seen the ones that protrude a bit and they seem more visible but they are not truly flush either and dont look as slick IMO. Good luck.....

Looks are not my primary concern.:rolleyes: I want a turn signal that will not crack my fairing in the event of a lowside. I am getting some frame sliders that will only protrude a minimal distance from the fairing. So I need a turn signal that will be as flush as possible, while providing good illumination to the front.:ride:

So I finally tracked down the style that I was looking for. Watsen Design flush mounts look like the nicest lights available. Kinda pricey, but looks like they are the most visible from the front. Can't really put a price limit on safety, considering how much we spend on everything else.:angel: :thumbup:
I'm pretty sure at least a couple people on here have Watsen Design flush mounts, any of you wanna share your opinion on them? :yes:

Those look pretty nice. Just became a dealer for them so maybe I'll get some in and try them out :yes:So you are a dealer, huh. :cool:
What could you do for me, if I was looking to pick up a pair of these? :yes:
