Watsen NEW Micro Alloy Flush mount blinkers

The Fleckster · 05-17-2009, 2:16 AM

I just got my New Watsen flush mount blinkers for my 07 CBR 1000RR and they are badass. I must say the quality is far above everything else i have seen out there. They are billit Aluminum and painted to match. The 4 watt LED is bright as hell. I also got the module to keep the running lights and it is sweet. Not quite as good of frontwqard visability due to the flushmount design but at least it does not stick out like a pod style one. Overall I am very happy with them. I paid a total of $115 with shipping. Blinkers were $93 and the modules were $15 a pair. That makes shipping from Canada $7.00. The exchange rate is awsome right now.

My next mod will be the Sargent seat and Heli bars i just ordered. Then after seeing how I fit with the mods I may get some adjustable rear sets. I am 6'1" and 220 so comfort on my back is important. I like that Honda CBR1000RR Tech site. He has done alot of reasearch on the Blades for me. Seems to be pretty detailed with what he does. I am getting the cutout style sliders too.

Things to do:
* Flapper mod
* Cut style sliders
* Stainless braided lines for thoes not already
* Radar detector
* Laser Jammer

Anyone out there know any other must have upgrades?

I installed the Vortex sliders. Cut style. Found they don't work too well if you slide from the hard surface to the soft shoulder. Pretty much destroyed the slider

OK I'll try and post some pics. The ones on their website probaley show a much better view than i will get.

Segiano,
You have the exact 92 F2 that I got when i was 21. They were a sweet bike and still have some nice looking lines. My Blade is black with the silver swipes down the side. So the Vortex sliders that you have you do not like?

After talking with the Vortex folks they said that the slides are designed for sliding along a hard surface. Once they hit the soft shoulder and dug in, all bets off. My guess is that all sliders would perform this way. Here is a pic of the install. In general I am happy with them.
