Proton Flush mounts 08-09 Specific

Sloppy2nds · March 14th, 2009, 04:46 PM

First off, I do not have any affiliation with these guys except for the fact that I am a very happy customer. I have had their flushmounts on previous bikes and it is the best. Super bright, visible from 2-3 directions and very good quality.

Well, I have been hounding these guys for a couple months trying to get one made for the 250. It finally paid off. I finally got a response tonight saying they will have one available in 2-3 weeks. As of right now, no one really makes a functional/250 specific flushmount that I like.

This is just a heads-up post for those of you on the fence about buying one of the other ones that are specific for the bike. Just hold on a lil longer

CRXTrek · March 14th, 2009, 05:22 PM

Those look great... I'll be ordering once they are available.
REPs for pushing them to do ours. I'd never seen these before ,they look like very high quality pieces.

ajaygraci · March 14th, 2009, 08:48 PM

100$ ?? dang a bit pricey? is that the price or am i mistaken? i think ill get the 20$ pair on egay and just drill a whole. good find though with the 250r specific

GreezMunky · March 14th, 2009, 10:06 PM

Wow those are very sexy. I will purchase when they come out, definitely.

jameZ · March 14th, 2009, 10:14 PM

man those are sick, let us know when they are available

Buffalony · March 14th, 2009, 10:22 PM

Its a fair price....but then I again I also think the AreaP exhaust is a fair price

For those of you that want to know what these really look like on bikes check out youtube there are tons of vids on these. I didnt want to post as there are way too many.

Sound Wave · March 15th, 2009, 04:10 PM

too bad it won't come with oem wiring adapters. still, definitely looking forward to seeing what they will look like on our bikes.

jeffwessel · March 15th, 2009, 05:17 PM

They look really nice, but I don't think I could spend $100 on them.

well, not that big a deal, but you do have to cut off the oem plug and attach it to their turn signal wires.instructions

i was just thinking about if i ever wanted to sell the bike, you would be able to tell it was altered at one point.

Wow I really misunderstood where they say no cutting or bike modification required....they were talkin about the body. who's gonna hack up their frickin fairing for a blinker.stupid advertising jargon got me.lol

Anyways thats a simple install. Cut the connector off of the stalk and not the wire harness.

ajaygraci · March 23rd, 2009, 07:07 PM

whats so bad about having to cut your wires?

kazam58 · March 23rd, 2009, 07:29 PM

nothing, it's just that for $100 they could include a matching connector...

athimmel · March 25th, 2009, 08:34 PM

Looks like the proton lights are available now.

Sloppy2nds · March 26th, 2009, 01:16 PM

BEST PRICE HERE!!!!!!!!! These are now available for $95.00

thebulbousone · March 26th, 2009, 02:31 PM

Not the only company to make specific flush-mounts... I've been working with Gregg DesJardins at Gregg's Customs and he's sending my plastics back as we speak... The Ninja 250 Specific Flush-mounts should be ready to go in a couple weeks and they are gonna look sick.... stay tuned!!!!

Viper-Byte · March 26th, 2009, 02:35 PM

Hmm, I think I will have to get me a set. Would be good if they made matching rears ones (obviously flushmount would be hard, but at least the same indicator design would be good)

Mason, I am interested in the ones you helping have made.

Thats good news....hopefully we can also get other companies to jump on board the 250 wagon.

Ive seen the Greg's, Watsen, Proton, flushmounts in person side by side for other bikes and in my opinion Proton>Watsen>Gregs although these are also the 3 best manufacturers for flushmounts imo. So you cant really go wrong with either.

Jiu Jitsu Player · March 26th, 2009, 04:16 PM

I think $100 for these protons is reasonable. Especially since most FE kits cost right around the $100 neighborhood. I wouldn't mind rear flush mounts if they offerred the visibility that the protons seem to have....

Snake · March 26th, 2009, 05:05 PM

Do you know if they will fit the pregen bikes?

Greggs make some good stuff

Have some of there flushies on the r1

watcanido · March 26th, 2009, 09:16 PM

The Protons look great. But are they water resistant? from the looks of its pictures on newenough they seem to be lacking a rubber seal? I can see rain or water while washing your bike getting into the circuits. what do you think?

No. I cant see them not thinking of this in R&D. I think the unit itself is sealed. Send them an email and post a response.

Sloppy2nds · March 27th, 2009, 05:47 AM

its a totally self enclosed system. Programming and features require different ways of wiring. No need to open the lights at all.

Buffalony · March 27th, 2009, 06:25 AM

Be Nice if these were avail in diff lense hues

There are plenty of products out there that you could smoke them yourself.

Here's the first one I found:

Very true, the reason I didnt attempt this with the protons on my other bike is because the outer shell is not smooth it has a texture to it. I just didnt want to mess a $100 part with VHT. Ive used VHT before but I dont see it looking that good on the type of texture this piece has. Then again, I am super anal about this kind of stuff and if I see a speck of it that didnt look even, Id throw it out

thebulbousone · March 27th, 2009, 07:02 PM

just got home from spring break with the kids... exhausted... anyway... I also had Gregg send me a couple of the bubble L.E.D's that go on his flush mount front unit and i'm going to mount those bubbles as my rear blinkers... ta-da matching set! ( why is it only magicians who get to use the phrase "Ta-da?") The flush mounts from Gregg's are a direct bolt in unit unfortunately you'll still have to splice the wires... I"ll post a D.I.Y. with pics once I get both sets installed...

Rynownd · April 1st, 2009, 12:24 PM

Just ordered my Protons from New Enough. I'll post up some pictures and a description when they're on... probably about 2 weeks.

Thanks to Sloppy2nds for gettin' the ball rollin' on these bad boys!

Just trying to get everyone some good options on flushmounts....I think my protons are sitting at home now in a box....I'm on vacation till sunday.m...but can't wait to get them on..

kazam58 · April 1st, 2009, 07:34 PM

I haven't taken off the front fairings yet, so I don't know what the blinker assembly looks like in there, but for those of you who have, or already have the protons, do you think they would work on the back of the bike? Because that would awesome, but I get the feeling they won't...

randomwalk101 · April 3rd, 2009, 12:27 PM

I haven't bought one for my 08 250 yet but Proton is nice. it's bulging out so you can see it from the front unlike other flat flushies. I have them in my 600rr and quality is top notch.

Buffalony · April 4th, 2009, 04:10 AM

Sloppy2nds · April 7th, 2009, 05:42 PM

Ok got mine installed tonight. No DIY and pics since its a fairly simple install, but ill cover some things to look out for to save you all some pain and time.

1. I used all the stock hardware from the OEM signals except for the locking nut that comes with the protons which I used.

2. This is fairly obvious, but when you cut the wires that go to the OEM signals the black is always your ground and the green is your hot.

3. You will need resistors, or even better get a new relay from autoparts store should be like $10-$15. why? because these are LEDs and there is not enough load. Therefore your OEM relay thinks theres an open and the rear blinkers wont flash. If youre getting resistors get 8-10 ohm. There are also load balancers that other places sell but I recommend a new relay.

Hope this helps and feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
