front turn signals - 1/17/2006 2:06:29 PM

I am looking for something to replace the doofy looking front signals on my 01 cbr 600.

I originally ordered a universal flush mount but when trying to install, i realized that there is a small lip which made the flush mount not such a good idea.

I've seen some universal shorties, but im not sure how they work and if they would look funny with the lip there...

Does anyone sell cbr specific signals?

Any other suggestions?

P.S - Ive done a search and was looking for any different suggestions than those offered in the previous posts....

Thanks.

Gregg's Customs makes some specific for each bike. Check out greggscustoms.com. Kinda pricy at $100 tho. I just mounted mine up, they look nice and fit perfect. Hope this helps.

I've got the Watsen design, billet LED fronts on my 954. They mount slick into the stock hole. They stick out past the body by about an inch. Check them out at watsendesign.com.

Those watsen lights are sweet take a look at my gallery you will see and the do make CBR specific design but you will pay about
60 - 120 for something that specific there not just like the universal flushmounts

In the rear i have universal flushmounts mounted to the plastic plate holder (cut and shaved down). They are not LED. Will it look dumb with LED in the front and non-LED in the rear? I was looking for something a little less pricey, although both the hotbodies, greggs customs and watsen are cool ideas which i might spend the cash on.

I was thinking if something like this would look/work fine..

Just thought Id let you know, I have the motrax spacers and an LPUSA design short light, front and back. The spacers fit PERFECT. I dont think youll be dissapointed. The only thing you gotta look out for in those kinds of lights, is they leave a small hole/cut in the lense so that you can pop it off and replace the bulb. If you wash with water, you might wanna tape em. I just never risked it and I tape all my lights off with electricians tape (not so goooey when you pull it off, plus excellent water protection) hope this helps

They blend right in to the curves/cuts of the bike:

BlindLOKI - nice monochromatic bike, I'm not sure why Honda doesn't make a simple paint scheme standard. Very Nice!

Hey man, I got them at a local dealer. I think these are either them, or damn close...

Try here... mine are black/smoke... but you choose...
OR, Browse Here If You Want

I hope that gets you in the right direction. I wish I knew exactly what they were, but its been awhile since I put them on. Just make sure you get a set of those spacers too, makes it look clean

Thanks guys for the compliments on the bike, I appreciate it

Thanks man, I just loved how they looked on your bike, so I have to get them now LOL. Thanks for the links, I'm going to get the spacers too. I'll order them on Monday or something when I get the bike at my house. Thanks again
