....I agree with different turn signals, but I personally wouldn't go with flushmounts. Yes, you can have a great looking bike, but people NEED to see where you're signaling, and flushmounts are in no way, shape or form anywhere near as bright as stock. (most of them you can't even see during the daytime.)

I would look into Watsen or Rizoma turnsignals. They are extremely bright for their size, use LED's and look incredible......but either way, it's up to you. I'm partial to the Rizoma's (I have mine on order).

WATSENS: $135/pair.

RIZOMA ZERO: $33.00/each.

The reason most people suggest flush mounts is due to the way the turn signals mount to the plastic and not a metal bracket.
All it takes is one bump and you've cracked your fairing.

the sun could be shining from your ass while riding but the average idiot in his car will still say "I didn't see him" after he cuts you off or slams into you so what difference are a pair of blinkers going to make ? haha

go with whatever fits your budget and/or meets your visual expectations (i have Greggs' since i appreciate great workmanship + awesome customer service, not to mention they're home-grown)

as for the tail-light - get the Clear Alternatives Integrated type from Brad (828)395-4231 - lowest price & customer service

p.s. have you done the flapper mod yet ?

The break-in guidlines in the owners manual say during the first 300 miles avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration. That's all I've ever done and have/had over 20,000 miles on 2 bikes, over 35,000 miles on one, and currently over 8,000 miles on my '06 1KRR
