Front Turn Signal Suggestions

[dafish2]

Broke a "Stalk Thingie" I sort of hated the OEM jiggle anyway. Any suggestions for a clean alternative that mounts well and connects up w/o any real hassles?


Thanks guys!

This what I did with mine...Halos in the scoops. They don't hinder air flow at all and are much brighter than stock making the you and the bike more visible.

Also, these were a plug and play set up. Absolutely no cutting of factory harness.

Ok, where did you get them?

plug and play??? Let's do this. Where do we get these?

I got mine from Mike Kemp. It is a plug and play set up.

Thank you...and the bike sounds sooooo good

I don't want to be "Debbie Downer", but I've tried everything reasonable to reach Mike. Text message, phone call, email, and facebook message. Stone silence. Not sure what to think of that. I guess I hope he's well and all.

Anybody have any details on creating a DIY halo kit?

Mike is fighting severe back issues. Mike is a great guy. Mike had also expressed serious supplier issues and loyally refuses to use the Chinese junk. That said I am very pleased with my led signals and running lights mounted in my radiator side covers from Mike Lee’s Starrider Performance

Do those halos have the turn signal function in them?

I just messaged him last night. First time.

 

[dafish2]

As I'd said, I hope he's OK. Shame he's having back problems. Mind you I've two broken vertebrae at this moment. I can still type, even answer a phone. But whatever, it's not like he owes me anything. I suppose I'll just move forward creating a set with chinese parts and accepting the trial and error of it all.

1Bad, would you like me to share what I do with you?

Mike offered to walk me through putting together a set on my own but I told him I'd wait as I had no desire to 'take money out of his pocket' and I'd wait for him to put together some kits. That was a few months ago and I haven't heard anything back from him yet.

I did look into some switchback 'Halo' LEDs that would provide turn signal functionality also and you can find Chinese-made sets for about $20/pair for the 70 and 80mm sizes. I found 'Made in the USA' sets that run $80/pair for the 70mm and $100 for the 80mm...I'm all about patriotism but that costs about $150 in this case.

Having not seen Mike's kit I'm curious if anyone has any pictures of it before installation. I'm curious if ithas the LED drivers that most of the switchback 'Halos' seem to have and, if so, how did he wire them and where did they connect to make them plug-and-play?

You can find 3-wire and 4-wire and you'd really only need to wire to the parking light for the, well, driving light function, one wire to the turn signal power and a ground. I just don't know how he wired the harness to make it an easy install.

Don't think I would be into making a set myself. I would just rather pay for a plug and play set and preferably not Chinese.

 

[Nite_train]

What is the price on his kit?

You can buy splitters...no cutting on either the stock turn signal wire or the main harness.
