Well not sure about DOT or not ,but Ijust bought this set.
Clear lenses ,and amber LEDs.
I think I will cut that rubber down,and make them as short as possible...and eventually they will be black....when I get fronts to match.

The ones ijust showed will go in the rear fender,because I want to cut all that extra stuff off ,and expose the tire as much as possible.
Up front I plan on getting clear lenses for the running lights ,and adding an additional set of signals.
Thanks for the pics those do look good!

More light up front is good. Since I've added my driving lights I see a difference in cagers seeing me. I used to frequently get those cagers that would start to pull out, see me at the last second and then they'd stop. You know, the ones that scare the hell out of you. With the driving lights, which each are as bright as my high beam light, I haven't gotten any of those "almost" pull outs. I think I'll go with some round, black turn signals to match the color and shape of the rest of the lighting. For now, though, I'm using what I have. I've had those turn signals on for about a year. Although they are well made, it looks like somewhere in the near future the chrome will start to peel off. It hasn't yet though.

wasn't sure if you're thinking front and rear turn signals...for the back, there's really only one option as far as cool goes.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...igan/Boulevard M50/?action=view&current=taillightintegrated-1.flv

integrate that thing.

Just copy/paste the thing into your address bar and it should work.

Default Mini Silver Bullets - Küryakyn
Strut mounted. I don't think they are DOT certified.

Are those kuryakyn bullet lights. I was just at my bro's dealer and was looking at a set that looks just like those. Wasn't sure if I would like it but I thought wrong.

Mine doesn't have any turn signals.

I have a left arm though. It's kinda cool.

Yes. They are Kuryakyn bullet lights. They are the mini bullet lights, not the Silver Bullets as I had said earlier.

I installed my new LED rear signals today.... I'd like to say to everyone who intends on switching out..do not get these.You can not see them for crap in the day light.
I'll be buying something else for sure....anyone have anything really bright?
I'll get a short video of them as soon as I wash my bike ..I got caught in the rain today.
THX!
