Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech New Turn Signals - Opinions? (long load time)

Had some LED strips that the wife said didn't show up too great. Bought some mini bullets and couldn't just leave those strips lying in the garage! My thinking was to get a weird shape and radius on the whole contraption to maybe catch cagers' attention better.

What do y'all think?

i kinda like it. something different and seems to be plenty visible

(in my opinion) they're too small and close to centerline to catch anyone's attention. The best you could hope for would be the cager idly wondering what that little blinky thing was as he cut you off from your turn lane.

I use those same signals. I like them and have amber front and red rear. Since this is the first bike I ever had signals on at all they show up great even though I still rarely use them.

I like it but just like bill said they might not be bright enough to catch cagers eyes.

They look pretty cool. And, of course, anything that adds more light has got to be a bonus. As far as I'm concerned, I don't care whether anyone watching knows which way I want to turn, as long as they see me.

If you do want to relocate the bullets to the original position, just use a small, L-shaped bracket, as (just about) visible in my photos (See BarEnd).

I drilled the origonal front signal mounts and mounted those bullet signals on the origonal mounts but on top instead of under.

How much does the headlight drown out the light from the turn signals or do they at all? I went with those LED light strips, but I put them on my mirror stems and have been told they show up pretty good.

I have been told mine are pretty visible as well. No one but me rides my bike so I have never seen them in a driving situation but when I open the shed at night I can clearly see them if I have one on when I go unlock it.
