    Front flush mount turn signals.

    I am tired of removing the front turn signals for track days. I'd like to buy some flush mounts I can just tape over and hide. Recommendations? Thanks.

    I need to ride the bike on the street so a racing plastic suit is out of the question.

    Check your local vehicle codes. Some states are hard over on visibility requirements, DOT, etc, etc...

    Just mount them to the gun rack or the cattle gaurd and they will come off when you remove them

    I've been riding without front turn signals ever since Grattan this year and no one's said anything yet...

    Re: Front flush mount turn signals.

    I've still got my set of Greggs Customs somewhere in a box in the garage. I went back to stock after seeing they just weren't as bright as I'd like them to be: GC 04-05 CBR1000 Clear Signals :: Lighting : Signals : Tail Lights :: Honda CBR 1000 rr :: Honda :: Manufacturers :: McCoy Motorsports

    I'll check later tonight to see if I can find them and take some pics.

    Re: Front flush mount turn signals.

    Turn signals for motorcycles are not required in Texas. The law states however that if you have them they must be working. If they are that much of a hassle just remove them. Flushmounts don't work worth a damn anyways.

    Btw, Ridesmart and LSTD are doing days at Cresson in two weeks. I will be at the LSTD day 8/24/07. Street riders will be on the 1.3 mile so should be a lot of fun getting schooled by motards and 125s.

    I'm all out of vacations days. Plus I'll be in Mexico that day. I'd like to go but it'll have to wait 'till next year.

    How about a Sunday ride?

    Have a fun and safe track day.

    Protons!!!! Mine is the one in the middle (sorry I don't have a better pic of them). On either side are the new amber Hotbodies flush mounts.

    I picked up one of these to normalize the flash rate!

    Re: Front flush mount turn signals.

    Final decision. The front ones are a pain so they're out with no replacement. I'm just leaving the red tape I had to cover the faring whole. The rear ones I put back in since they attach to the tag harness and they're easy to remove.
    I didn't know about the Texas law... Thanks Phillip.

    Re: Front flush mount turn signals.

    mine are similar to these mototeck ones. mine have a red trim plate and my lenses are red and smoked. I actually never peeled back the sticky part to attach them to the fairing because they snap into place perfectly in the holes in my fairing. a couple of blade stlye connectors on the wires and they come off in no time.

    Re: Front flush mount turn signals.

    Sorry it took so long, I was looking for a box and they weren't in one

    The first pic is the flushmounts. They look really small here DSCN1472.JPG

    This is with the connectors already attached. All you have to do is slide the Molex connector off your current stockers and slip them over the these and they become quick disconnect just like OEM.DSCN1473.JPG

    Unfortunately, I had a bad LED in the one without the connectors and had to ship them back to Gregg's but they replaced the light for free. I know you said you're running without them but if you want them, I can crimp the connectors on the second one and sell them to you.

    If you don't, check the McCoy site again. They sell just a plug that fills the holes.

    No prob man. I have little short stalk LED fronts on my tuono as the OEM ones are very crappy framesliders. They don't work too well and if they ever stop working I am just going to yank them and have rear only.

    It's good. Thanks for the offer but I rather just ride with the rear ones for now. Sorry I made you look for them for nothing.

    I've been riding for a few days without the front ones and I'm not missing them thus far.
