flush mount signal lights??

[hidepenny]

are they good or bad as in visibility to others???

depends on how flush they are. I've found some like on a tlr i was following on saturday, was exceptionally hard to see and only barely registered in my brain as an indicator. It was a pinprick of an orange glow with a bit of a lighter orange about it. I like the form of them, but the function seems to leave a lot to be desired.

I have the flush mount LED style on my '04 ZX-7 and I like them. They are plenty bright - even in daylight. They are more yellow in color than orange. I think my only concern would be at night, since they are mounted so close together, whether it would be difficult to tell which way I am wanting to turn to the oncoming traffic.

It's sure nice not having to fight the stock turn indicators when I'm loading 3 bikes on the trailer, either having to remove them due to hitting the other bikes or the tie down straps.

Hi Hidepenny
Things to consider if they are not that visible:
In an accident you could be blamed if your vehicle is not roadworthy ie
ADR regarding size placement & spacing of indicators.
Insurance may not cover you in this regard as well.
So the bike may look all spanky but it could end up costing you big time
if something were to happen touch wood

Good point Rob, but if your bike burns to the ground you should be ok hidepenny

Those flashing LED tailights are brilliant and DO stand out. BUT are STILL illegal....
I am talking about the ones where half the stop light flashes yellow/orange as an indicator but they all come on red (gotta love LEDs) when you hit the brake.
Neat, tidy, dont blow bulbs, looks sweet. BUT illegal due to width.

my mates got some flush fit ones on his bike and, as mentioned, i struggle to see them. I wouldnt personally have them for fear of being rear ended at a junction etc. I just have some smaller ones http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ ... BIKINDUSSP
which are slightly brighter than standard ones (safer IMO) and a lot neater.
