That's totally trick...where do they come from?

Those are cool. Other than stringing the woes through the bars, if you have Kuryaken grips you dont really have to do much.

I emailed the guy to find out if it is a dual intensity thing for both running lite and turn signal . Cool , very cool . Did you see his feedback score ? Wow .

I've eyed these for a few weeks now. I wonder if they can be used with the throttle bosses and if the are 360deg visible. that might be right in your face at night...

They look like they are 360 degree visible, but I bet they wont blind you because with your hands on the grips, your hands and wrists will block the light from your face.

If not, it would only be because of screw length. It should be possible to find longer screws.
I have to say, I really like those. They may just tip me over to attempting the wiring-inside-the-bar thing. But I'm not giving up my throttle boss.

Well , here we go , the nice guy e mailed me back and they ARE wired dual-circuitry . They are running lights as default and operate on the bright circuit as a directional signal . Cool , very cool . Good justification to wake up Brent and get the Kuruakyn grips . Maybe Brent will get hooked up with this guy and sell them , too .

Could you use these for the front and rear turn signals since they are 360 degrees?

Probably depends on where you live. But, my first instinct would be no, rear signals probably need to be mounted on the rear of the bike somewhere. Unless local laws say that they just need to be visible from the rear.

Dang, now I've got to write him and see if they'll work with Kuruakyn sabre grips.

I'm with Will on this one. I've always planned on eventually doing the nice wiring in the bars thing also, so this mod would be the icing on the cake so to speak. I also think that not only do they look great, they may even be safer than stock considering they light from an angle of 360 degrees.  So looking good and working real good makes me tink

I had another idea for those signals. Mount them on the shock posts for rear turn signals.

So Eddy, I guess we can expect your usual brilliance?  Nick, I figure if they don't supply them, one of us can source the proper length!

Be aware that the stock bars have a weight in them that is a nightmare to drill; really tough. Incidentally (and a slight hijack), how did those who've done the hidden wiring cope with drilling this?

I dunno , grips on the rear of the bike may be confusing , if not outright illegal .
