  1. Flush Mount Signals & running lights.

    in Tech and Tips

    Posted

    I have 2 different sets of flush mount front turn signals.

    1 set I would consider cheap and just have a 2x sided sticker that holds it to the lower fairing on the R6.

    The 2nd set are more expensive and have a threaded post through the fairing with a big nut on the back.

    The problem is that neither set of LED flush mounts have an orange (or any) "running light" when the signals are not in use. They are dark (not lit) until you hit the blinker.

    The factory lights stay lit solid orange all the time until you hit the signal, then they are always on but flash brighter.

    Do they make LED flush mounts that stay on as running lights like the factory light?

    Thanks,

    Chris

    I thought about using Clear Alternatives, I don't really like them though. The turn signals are IN the tail (break) light. In my opinion, its hard for others to see and you still leave the stock tail mounting holes exposed. It looks bad. I remember riding behind a guy in Delaware that has these. He pulled his break and left turn signal at the same time and I couldn't tell what the hell I was looking at. The right side of the break light was blinking red (like stop) and the left side was blinking yellow (like turn) but they were both "swirling" LED patterns that took me a second or 2 to figure out what was going on.

    Hotbodies leaves the break light in place(as a single function), and has clear, distinguished rear left and right turn signals. (Getting rid of the stock signals)

    My only concern with hotbodies is:

    1. Does the paint match? Every picture I see has a shadow under the tail so you cant tell.

    2. What the heck do you do with your plate?
