anyone switch to flushmount signal lights?

[AOD]

just curious here if anyone has switched their bike to flushmount turn signals?

i do like the retro look of the original turns signals, but i'm wondering too what flush signals would look like.

Re: anyone switch to flushmount signal lights?

I have always switched out my rear turn signals to flush mount because the stock stalks get in my way and just downright annoy me. The front, I leave stock since that area is pretty much taken up by the handlebars.

You can go to http://www.denniskirk.com/
then click on "street bike" and enter part number 210464 in the box at the top right of the page, click search and the 1st light shown in the top row is what I use. (you can click on the picture to get a bigger picture)

where do you have yours installed at? off the rear tail section?

that's why i asked about the picture.

On the 79 750, they're mounted on the sides of the tail section. On the 1150, they're mounted on the sides of the rear fender over the hole that the turn signal stalk mounted into.

think these would work good?

Those are LED lights and would not have sufficient amperage draw to operate the flasher for the turn signals. You could buy an electronic flasher module that will make them flash, but I think it would be cheaper and easier to just buy signal lights that use standard bulbs.

The link I gave you for the lights at Dennis Kirk are bulb lights, so no electrical changes are needed.

how do i find the part numbers for the other lights listed on that drawing?

i want to change my front turn signals to flush mount if i do the rear. i have the fairing up front to mount them on.

what are the dimmensions of the signals you bought? i'm trying to get a 'size' visualization here.

there's a huge list of single or dual filament type lights. i think i just need single, since i'm not using running lights.

Earl, i have no idea which light you got. your part number is for 'clear lense' yet every lense in that picture is colored amber. :x

i want clear lense amber bulb in the rear.

and smaller clear lense amber in the front.

okay, i got antsy and impatient yesterday when i got home. i'm going to resume my search for flushmount (stick/screw on) today at work.

i think i'll check ebay.

ebay lead me to a nice find...

rear turn signals maybe. 3 3/4 x 7/8

front turn signals. 2 1/4 x 7/8

i really like these blue ones, they wont match my paint exactly...but i think i should avoid them because it may lead to problems with police i'm thinking.

man those are neat looking.
