If I were to get them I'd get the clear ones which retail for $120/pair. In addition I'd want to get some sort of resistor/Flash regulator/running light apparatus which could potentially add up to $50+ to the total cost. So let's just say the total could be $200.
Is it worth the price for a couple of turn signals?

The resistors can be found at radio shack for around a $1 -- make sure they're the ceramic type and wire 'em up parallel (one end on pos and one on neg).
I got the gregg's second hand and like them. Don't know if I'd pay retail though -- they're nice but maybe not THAT nice
. Had the resistors wired in to give normal blink rate but ended up removing them. Guys at work said I was much more visible with the fast blinks.

Thanks Chain, that's valuable feedback. I'm inclined to agree with you on the blink rate. I've heard some can blink so fast that it might almost look like a solid flash. That wouldn't work, but I'm not opposed to a faster than normal blink.

I never liked the looks of Greggs.... they would be over price for me at $10. I like/love the hotbodies racing LEDs.

Does anybody have pics of the Hotbodies flushmounts for an F4i? Also, are they wired for running lights?
THanks for the tips. $120+ is way too much for a pair of turn signals. I might also head the warnings of countless other members and save the $$$ to buy some leather riding pants. I always gotta be Mr. Safety. I've just had a hard time bringing myself to buying a pair of leather pants. It seems a little too Jim Morrison for me.

I love mine. They couldn't have a more exact fit. The lights are very bright and very visable. Couldn't be any better.

A buddy of mine just put some on his Repsol, and we were both kind of surprised that they weren't more visible. I guess they weren't as bright at night as we had expected.
I'm gonna wait until I can see what the hotbodies look like on an F4i and then decide.
Thanks for all the opinions.
