Flush mount turn signals

[6speed]

which ones did you go with?

[Big Kahuna]

There are a bunch of manufacturers out there with cool looking flushmounts for the 1000RR.

91
Watsen Design (http://www.watsendesign.com/Honda_Products/Honda_products.htm) makes one that is color matched for the Repsol.

89
Gregg's Customs (http://www.greggscustoms.com/prod_honCBR1000.html) makes nice little inserts and I've seen people paint these to match the Repsol.

90
Hotbodies (http://www.hotbodiesracing.com/signals.htm) makes some cool inserts as well.

92
I went with short stalk front and rear. I've been using flush mounts for years on my 900, but have recently opted for a more visible option.

[repsolrr69]

yeah I have the short stalk too, I love em

[6speed]

those watsen's are pretty cool but i want something that sits a little more flush. i've found a set called protons, they are also able to be wired as running lights which i like and have 4 effects for turn signals (strobe effect :cool: ) its either those or the watsens im not sure. i wish greggs still made them in repsol orange, those look sweet.

[Repsol01]

I went with the Hotbodies and love them. The only thing that sucks is making left hand turns during the day, cars cannot see the signals because of them being flush. I just started using hand signals when needed.

[Geepaks]

I put these on my Repsol, did order the smoked lense. The stick out form the faring recess enough that they are also visible from the front. They are LED and bBest of all they work and look great at a good price.

+1 id love to see pics

[msalser1000]

I used the hotbodies on mine and i love them. was gonna buy the gregs customs but couldnt see spending 150 bucks.

[Big Kahuna]

Yeah, actually, the Hotbodies flush mounts are priced pretty reasonably.

[Geepaks]

Sorry, I dont have any pix of the sportbikeeffect installed, as I got them late in the season and did not take a pixs. It's winter in MI and shes all covered up in the garage. I am heading out of town and will take some pix when I get back on Sunday - you're gonna like them for two reasons
1) Kick bu_t price
2) Can be seen from side and front
3) LED not bulbs
Sorry to make you wait.

[Repsol47]

I went with the Proton's....and then painted them with an Orange laquer clear to have them match the orange on the Repsol plastics.
They were less than 100.00 if I recall.

[Repsol47]

Well, since I scuffed my left Proton and because I'm anal (Umm, not the dirty anal) about having a perfect bike...I think Im going to unload my Protons.
I have since sanded the groove marks out and she is ready for the Orange paint.
I'll post them in the "For sale" section as soon as I can.

are you going to get protons again or are you going to switch? were you happy with the protons? i havent installed mine yet.

[Repsol47]

I may get something cheaper....I thought the Protons were awesome, I had to special order the orange paint..but once I did the mod, they looked great.
But at 100.00 a pair...I think this time around I'm gonna go with the clear HotBodies and paint them orange.

I will repaint the Proton that I scuffed and either keep as a spare or sell.

[davetx]

Here are the new style Watsens on my Respol.

[highside]

I'd still prefer the Protons.

sWEEEEEEEEEEEEEt go with the new watsons:D :D

[Geepaks]

Well, finally got around to taking some pix.

[crdhelipad]

hey guys & gals you need to seriously consider wasten 3 led turn signals:D. ihave had many brands and styles,watsen are high quality cnc housing,wiring is top notch, both repsols have them and let me tell you in traffic when i turn them on to switch lanes those other drivers see them:) it was amazing. they also have a running light module works great:D :D :D

[TX Repsol]

I just installed the Lockhart Phillips flush mounts on my '07.

they say the new watsons sit alittle flatter

[TX Repsol]

By "flatter", do you mean more flush? If so, check out the Lockhart Phillips flush mounts linked in my post a few up from this one.

[Mother]

I just put on my flush mounts last night along with a clear alternative's smoked taillight. Check out the pics in the member gallery.

[TX Repsol]

clear alternative's smoked taillight.

Quite the oxymoron, heh?

[michaelarussell]

I went with the hotbodies. I already had them on the '06 and when I got the Repsol, I had them changed over. I have got to get the resistor installed to slow down the blink rate though.

As far as the visibility from the front, I just always assume cars don't know what I'm doing!!!!!

+1, Awesome quality and customers service. The paint matches perfectly.

There a little expensive to put in the back though, crdhelipad did you get a good price for them?

[Thrasher]

Go Proton they are super bright and you dont need to paint em, wire them in strobe mode

[salvaje]

Hey MOTHER, are those Hot Bodies marker lights? did you paint them? cause they look orange in one of the photos.

[Mother]

No, they're not the hot bodies ones... they're different ones that I got from ebay. And yes, I painted them orange with Tamiya clear orange spray paint. I also wired them up with diodes on the signal wires so they function as both running lights and turn signals. I really could not be happier with the results. The name on the package for the signals was "bikeit.co.uk" or something like that. The ebay seller was flyncycle.

[salvaje]

I figure that. How many coats of the Orange clear did you apply? I am about to do the same with my Hot Body lights this weekend.

[Mother]

Here they are:

[Mother]

I've seen one person say seven coats and another say ten. Mine took five... maybe I spray heavier than the other two guys, I dunno.

[MEGA]

+1 the watsen look awsome.
Ive seen them on some guys repsol in my area.
Ive wanted them ever since.

[cosmo]

hi there, got my watsen 3led signals, finally, but there's a problem. those have a connector with 3 pins.... on my repsol i only have a connector with 2 pins on the signals ?

somebody knows for what's the black wire on the signals is for?

[Repsol47]

Check here bro:

http://www.hooliganbiketech.net/hondacbr1000rrweb/1000RR_frameindex.htm

Oops, sorry....that was for the Protons.
But if Watsens are wired the same as the Protons....then it should be the same wiring.

[Nakkers]

Here are the new style Watsens on my Respol.

Got these on mine and love them ! :banana:sweet:

[Repsol47]

where you get the finger guys from

That might be from the BARF site ( www.bayarearidersforum.com )

I just checked, and I dont see any links to buying swag from that site.
I know that they use that guy and his finger gesture as their mascot

I had the same problem ,just use the original connecters and join them on.

Thanks for the link Cowboyadam! :hail:

[RepsolBoyJay]

i had the flush mount ones on mine but they dont flash forward, only to the side so people ahead cant see them, swoped for the ones at the bottom in the end

[james07repsol]

i have the protons on my 07 n i think they're great. best thing about them is u can wire them up to be running lights too like the stock signals. plus they have multiple cool effects and they stick out far enough to be able to see them. even during the day

[crdhelipad]

120.00us +15 for running light module.sorry havent been able to reply sooner been out of town :)

third wire is for running light mode like your stock turn signals.you will need the light module, it runs leds at 40% looks great at night :D are u installing in the rear or front ? front has 3 wires and rear signals have just two wires;)

[DavesRepsol]

Does anyone have pics of the watsen 10-led design? does the 3-led new design show up as well as the 10??

[davetx]

I had the 10 led version on my 600RR. I now have the 3 led on my Repsol. The three led is a lot brighter than the 10 led, and it is more flush too.

[DavesRepsol]

Thx....that was the info I needed. Decision made. thanks DaveTX

[goracer]

Nice pics guys. Now i'm stuck between the new Watson (3-LED) and the Bike Design with an Amber lense. :confused2:

Oh btw, I am getting a plug in relay from Competition Werkes. It replaces the OEM one so you don't have to solder in any resistors for the LED lights. There is one here http://www.bikeeffects.com/products.asp?cat=8522 but it doesn't look like it's a plug in.

[bwest30]

I love my smoked lockhart philips flushmounts.. 45 bucks, and they have factory connectors, and need no resistors...

[goracer]

^ So yours are not LED or they have built in resisitors?

I called Bike Effects and theirs has a factory 2-wire or 3-wire plug but the LED version requires a resistor. The have one they sell at cost on their site.

[Jacobs Dad]

Oh great. Just received my watsen's today. Went with the 10 LED. Figured it would show better with people seeing the flash. Now I am wondering if I made the right choice? :weirdface:

[Repsol47]

Return em....get the new 3 LED version....much more sexier.

I have a CA tailight with resistors, and corrects everything of mine.. the fronts i just had to plug up..

hey is the CA tailight plug n' play or do you have to cut or drill anything?

The brake/tail light is plug and play, the turn signals you need to splice into the bikes wiring.

There is a write up on it here -

Thanks alot man! Ive never soldered anything before though...you think its easy enough for a guy with no experience to do this or should i try and get some help? just dont wanna f it all up:)

[sschrader]

Soldering is easy. Don't just twist the wires and tape it up, do it the right way!!

Although this guy has a cool little thing to hold the wires for him, you can do them yourself...I had my 7 year old daughter help me:)

Be careful though. My blinkers must be disconnected to remove the fairing - I would assume they're all this way.

Soldering the connections means cutting and resoldering EVERY time you take off the fairing...

Unless I'm missing something? :confused2:

With my Watsens, I cut off the plugs (whatever they are called) from the stock signals, and then soldered them onto the CA tail light. Then ya just unplug everything if you want to take it apart.

I see - my Lochart Phillips flush mounts came with stock style connectors... straight plug 'n play.

[tribaltim]

You can buy the adapters that fit the stock signal socket for like 5 bucks which is what I did they work great. No cutting.....

That's cool, I never knew some came with connectors. I didn't mind cutting mine up and soldering them. I threw my stock signals away long ago.

[guira95]

Dave TX - Where did you get those flush mount signal lights? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks much!

[fire9746]

More pics of the short stalks front and rear please and info on where to buy. (what brand) thanks
