There ya go! My flushmount idea!
And just for fun.....
My bike in action

 

Okay okay..make me get up, get the camera, rip apart my signals just to post these..hopefully someone appreciates this..lol......







btw the bulb is a 921..18-watts, plenty bright





and one of a few friends..good times at the camp.

 

You know what I have been thinking about the Acerbis with the built in turns is that I agree they are almost worthless in the day light. But really if you think about it we could add any light we want to the hand guard. I mean I am going to start looking for a really bright alternative. The wires are already there so lets share ideas or progress on this issue. I'll be posting as soon as I come up with something. If I can't find anything I am going to just install the stock turns back on the front, along with the Acerbis ones, that should get some one's attention.

 

+1 deej, you'd think they would have thought themselves that they werent bright enough from the get go. I wonder if adding some kind of reflective material inside the housing would improve anything. Something like the inserts on the stockers, or even modding the inserts from the stockers to fit inside. Any little bit would help.

Ps: thanks for the pics guys, looks really good!

 

And you know what is even funnier or not really is the fact that the Acerbis are DOT legal and the ones on the back that I bought that are 10 times brighter are not DOT approved. Hmmmm I wonder who has their hand in some body's pocket.[:@]

 

That is quite strange. I wonder if the 10 dollar ones were not dot approved just because of the cost of testing or whatever? I've got the same ones going too and didnt notice if they were or were not DOT. But as if any one would know otherwise, they work quite well. I think some kind of small LED setup would be cool. Like those really bright *** ones.

 

Yea well I bought one of these for the tail light.



What a joke!!! It ends up being 1/5 as bright as a stock 1157 filament bulb. Sometimes if it ain't broke, why fix it.

 

Ah that sucks. I have a little flashlight that has 4 small LEDs and it is quite bright. Would be more than enough for a turn signal. Although I think the key is to have a reflective piece of material in there. Kinda like one of those tanning things people used to use

 

If you already have the acerbis handguards and signals, I recommend drilling or carving out the white plastic (as I did) and picking up a set of GE921 push-in 18-watt bulbs. And since you lose the tabs from the white plastic that hold it into the housing, I simply used a litlle waterproof glue to glueit back on..the bulbs will already fit through the black handguard itself, so no drilling required there..and since the bulbs are changed by pulling them out the rear of the handguard, gluing the lens on doesn't impede a bulb change. Also, I drilled a couple of holes in the handguard beneath the hidden under the lamp housing that I used to slide a pull-tie through to hold the bulbs in the hadguards so they won't fallout and dangle .

The halogens were really bright..but the price of ruining the handguards by the lamp melting everything to me wasn't worth it..the incandescent are the way to go..just my opinion....good luck, let me know what you find.
