Check out Watsen Design if you want a quality part thats still a little unique. I love how they came out on my RC, and the quality rocks.

If these are like the ones that LP carried, the problem is the bulb. They are hard to find, and not usually stocked at a Napa/AutoZone/Checkers store. And LP did not carry them consistantly. The Short Stock iv uses a regular auto bulb that is easily replaced that most of the auto stores carry.
If you go with these, make sure that you can get the bulbs and they are very hard to replace without breaking them.

Re: Anyone have these or used them?

I have these on the front and rear of my bike. they look very good imo, but i'm biased i guess. That price is WAY too high for two turn signals. Try cyclegear.com for a much better price. Also the internal soldering on them isn't very good, i've had to solder the wires back on twice. So if you do buy them handle the wires very gently, and use some electrical tape to tape the wires to the threaded bolt after you mount them. The bulbs in them are a pain in the butt to change because fingers won't fit in there to remove/install them, i use a needle nose plier to carefully install new bulbs when needed.

For as much trouble as these have given me, i wouldn't buy them again. But they look good. next time i'll buy the LED style. All these "arrow" turn indicators are made by the same company reguardless of who markets them as their own design.

pain in the butt to find a retailer who sells the correct bulb, then another pain to install the new bulbs without breaking them.

Re: Anyone have these or used them?

I have these on the back of my bike, you can see a picture if you click on gallery. The previous owner installed them along with some kind of a flasher box. My guess is that the factory flasher didn't work properly with those signals. You can also see the big ugly licence plate light that the dealer had to install to make the bike legal. I don't recommend these signals because they are not visible in daylight. My wife did not see them when she drove the van behind me and one of my friends was also driving behind me and told me that they were very hard to see. These things look good but imo if they are not more visible than the factory ones they're no good. I plan on installing the factory ones soon.

I had those on the back while I was looking for an undertail I liked. Very easy to work with. I didn't have to change a bulb in the short time I had them, but they are simple to take apart.
