flush-mount turn signals?
Hey everyone I was just wondering on everyone thoughts on flush-mounts turn signals for the front blinkers. My current choices are either protons or the ones from Tri at modmy250.com , [the first ones on the top of the page, Ninja 250R 2008-2012 Flushmount LED Turn Signal Indicators]. I am still debating which ones i should get. Both look pretty nice and bright in the videos. Both don't have great visibility for cars in front of you, at least from what i can tell in the videos (if you have either and you can see them both daytime and nighttime from the front please post). Protons have strobe which i like, tri's are $30 cheaper. Gonna have to get a relay and diodes for both regardless so that doesn't matter. Anyone have thoughts on the matter, other flush-mount choices, or other suggestions on the topic? Please let me know!

When I added Tri's flushmounts, I also added mini LED turn signals under the front cowl for added straight on visibility. http://www.luckybike.com/servlet/-st...h--Mini/Detail

Do you think any of those flush mount turn signals will work on an 03 250R? Cause I want new ones but i want them to cover the UGLY holes in the fairings from the stock turn signals.

I had to drill one hole but I put it right between the two original mounting holes so that if I go back to stock you can not see the holes. And I had to get 4 Bolts about 1cm longer than the ones that come with the mirror but I am very happy with the install and I am very picky about drilling holes etc in my bike. You can Get OEM connectors here. Just click kawasaki. http://www.customled.com/products/oe..._connector.htm And I also used a Y. Can be purchased here. http://modmy250.com/LP.html I built my own Y by using connectors off easternbeaver.com, if I was to do it again I would just use the ones off modmy250.com I also used this flasher relay. http://www.grote.com/product.php?pro...891&mode=print

the wires in the link you provided show to be outside of the mirror, but they are not under where the mounting bolts are? So is the hole you drilled visible with the wires going through the fairing, or the hole is completely under the mirror and the wires can be pushed into the housing and pulled out from the bottom where the bolts stick out of? Can you do a close up pic from all the sides of the mirror, would like to get a better understanding.
I was thinking if i can push them in through the housing and out where the bolts go, i use one hollow bolt to run the wire though without drilling. But the picture shows the wires completely outside the mirror housing.

Wire By trevor_shiggs at 2012-04-29 Spacers. By trevor_shiggs at 2012-04-29 Boot By trevor_shiggs at 2012-04-29 I would defiantly buy and install them again. They kind of stick out a little bit on the ends but i'm still happy with them. I looked at the lucky bike little signals to put upfront but I liked the mirrors better cause they are higher and more visible.

Are those mirrors the plain black universal ones (found on ebay, cheaply)? I was looking at those and noticed they had some "chrome" ones, as well as black, and black carbon fiber. I've been trying to decide between the black & carbon fiber ones.

Ive got these on my ninja 250, I just typed in Ninja 250r turn signals on ebay and came across em. I found that these ones stick out a bit more than the other ones posted and hence more cars will be able to see you but it still looks better than the stocks ones

after having these for i think a year now - in the daylight i think there is no visibility difference vs stock. same amount of krazy kagers. How ever at night these things are monsters vs stock, same with blaster Integrated Taillight I installed the same time. Hope this helps. I chose to go with modmy250.com / tri because his were plug and play, you can get ebay ones and have to cut lines. 100% reversible with Tri's products.
