Do it yourself front turn indicators w/ pics & video
I modified some Motrax Micro Fairing Mount indicator to fit.
Here is a link to the pics of the before and after shots and a video of them blinking after the install.

I placed some reflective tape on the bulb housing to reflect the light foward a bit more than would have been. The signals are damn near as bright as my 636 which has the same signals on it as came stock on the 10R. Alot of the bightness is projected foward due to the fresnel rings on the amber lens, creating a prism effect whice redirects the light.Tonight I will shoot a video of the two side by side (BLINKING) and let you guys check it out.
This all started out as a strobe light turn signal kit I was fabracating, after 3 proto types I settled on this.
Thanks for the props. Great forum you guys have going here! :-)
BTW. Nice color Iculukn HEHEHE

Knowing the hours it takes to do little nice touches, I can appreciate the work. May be easy and cheap to go get some euro signals, but that is some love right there.
Good work.

Here is the videos as promised...
Looks like stock ones are brighter head on. Side view, maybe the new ones are a bit better. Most of the time when the front signals are used it only invites a left turning cage to cut you off. But when riding with other bikes I always use them.
