Anyone use these turn signals?

[snrusnak]

I impulse bought these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/171472797706

They were so cheap, LED, nice appearance, clean looking smoked lens, I like the rear blue led indicator so you don't forget they are on, and I only need 2 for the front (have an integrated rear tail light) so will either have an extra set or can add more to the rear as the integrated turn signals are hard to see. $11, can't beat that.

Curious if anyone knows how good or bad they are?

My stock signals finally tore at the flexible rubber.

Your dash should tell you if your blinkers are on! I've had a million sets of those cheapo led stalk blinkers, they serve their purpose. I have a ton of the hollow middle triangulated ones laying around I would have given em to you if you wanted em. I prefer the flush/surface mounts.

lol yeah I know and I'm not one to ever forget a turn signal on either, just a neat feature of the light. I don't like flush mounts, I think these look good. I have other cheapo's and they look cheap, these I think look a lot better, as well as the one's chicago posted. I don't know that there's really a such turn signal that isn't a "cheapo" lol.

Apparently you edited your post chicago lol. I measured the hole on the bike and it should fit. If it doesn't, I'm out $11 I guess. The listing posted two different diameters, one was the right size. So I'm hoping it'll fit. Technically, I could return if it doesn't due to falsely posted info.

I have a number of the cheapo turn signals and they all work great the only problem is when I see a pair that I think looks cooler or better I buy them and change them up. :encouragement:

Keep me updated chicago I'd like to see how the stockers look with the led bulbs as well! Mine will take forever to get here from China but I'll post when they do.

Hay Chicago,
I emailed the seller regarding the following, "this part is not compatible with xb**r"...
Q.
Can you please advise if you sell Motorcycle Black LED Turn Signal light Indicator Amber Sport Bikes (front & back) that is compatible for a Buell 2008 XB12R Firebolt..
I like the look of item # 262003495450, have you something similar that will work on the above motorcycle?
I have checked if they are compatible via your ebay page and the answer was 'no'.
Please advise.
Thank you for your assistance.
Regards,
Steve.

Apparently they will work..

I assume lightning and firebolt signals are the same? They say they'll fit the lightning. And according to one of the measurements posted it'll fit lmao.

I've noticed it seems more and more products are coming back to being produced here at home. I buy some of my clothes, all my shoes(new balance) and boots(georgia), my wallet(duluth), automobile tires (cooper), more and more auto parts, some tools (stihl), etc. On the same note, I'm not against buying elsewhere. If somebody else can produce a better product for less, sure I'll buy it. I'd rather have it here, but I'm not going to pay more for less due to dumb pride. But I'm very happy to see more and more products (good one's, too) being produced here again. Heck, even a lot of the junk at walmart is made here now. I've also noticed foreign "junk" has really upped it's quality lately overall, many of these super cheap products aren't too bad.

Hay Chicago,
Thanks for the updates, appreciated.
:up:

The rubber on the Led is stiffer then stock so no bouncing up and down, would be brighter if clear not smoked .The end connector I spread open so it is snug when connected.

Thanks for posting chicago! Nice to know there is a stock bulb replacement option. I have been so busy lately I completely forgot I even ordered turn signals lmao. Still haven't arrived yet.

I just ordered tires for the bike today. Probably won't finalize my headlights or do the signals for a while.
