Finishing touches
Well, I finally got the heat shield to look presentable, and also wired the new front turn signals to double as running lights. I have them set up as Full brightness for running, and on/off blink for turn signal.
I took the photo with my phone, so excuse the glare. One of these days I'll take some real pictures. ;) Login or Register to Remove Ads

What have you decided to do for front facing turn signals? It looks like you've already removed the OEM ones.

Looks good Jay. That should give the bike some visibility.

I'm looking intensively to find something that looks right. In the mean time, I ride a little differently knowing the issue. I found some great signals to replace the rear, but they only come in Amber. I am hoping to do a run/brake/signal conversion at the same time. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

I'm curious about your exhaust also. How's it sound with the Yoshi cans on there? I like the way it looks with the black muffler. I really think these Vaqueros would look really good with black exhuast.

Thanks! I love the sound, but wish I could afford to have true dual pipes made. As it ended up, I just had mid-pipes made to connect the mufflers to the stock system. |
