I’m looking to replace the stock turn signals with something a little smaller for a clean look.
Looking for suggestions/pictures for both front and rear turn signals.
I have a light bar on my bike so for the front I would like to get turn signals that can be mounted in conjunction with the light bar.

Hey Britrover Check out my site for info on mounting turn signals below the driving lights. As for alternatives, I like the large kuryaken silver bullets personally, and will be buying same when I can justify the hideous expense. Am thinking of going LED instead of halogen for them, but that means getting a load equaliser too. You probably don't want to go too much smaller below driving lights as they'd look silly, but maybe get the large bullets for the front and the small ones for the rear? Matt

I just bought the kit from Ma's to mount the large silver bullets on my Triumph lightbar. But I don't like the wiring set up. They use scotch locks (2-1 clamp-on connectors) and it just makes me nervous.. The lights are good quality, but I am going to re-engineer the wiring so it is a lot cleaner....
More flags
More fun!

I have the large bullets on the back, love 'em. I haven't replaced the fronts yet but when I do I'll be buying them for the front too. I have a pic in my gallery of them installed on the back. Unfortanetly it's not a great picture of them- you can only see the profile.

Tinman, Saw your pics and have to ask, where did you get the awesome sprocket cover? Britrover, here is what I did in the back and love it. Front is large Kuryakyn on Ma's bracket. http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/photopost/data/500/32sm_taillight.JPG

I bought a set of small signals from Drag Specialties...you can see them in my gallery, esp. in the pic titled "Left Side". Pretty cheap too, like 30 bucks or something.

Take a look at the signals on the new HD Lowrider, they are the bikes best feature. The front ones look like they are on a swivel mount, making them very adaptable. Also, the fronts have a dual filament bulb, doubling as marker lights.

I went with the Kuryakin (sp?) small silver bullets in front from Ma's (comes with the proper mounting bracket. For the back, I have a chrome liscence plate from with a small vertical light the height of the frame on each side. The shop that did the work set me up with this so if you want info let me know and I'll ask them where to get it. Here's the back: Back Liscence plate from/turn signals and Here's the front: Front small silver bullets I'm happy with the setup.
Ride it like you stole it!

Jango,
It's a stock cover that I ground the fins down on then sent it out to get engraved and chromed.
