well, I need some new signals because I managed to save everything except my right front signal after deciding to stop at my friend's house and try to park on a sloped driveway. I had hurt my right leg the night before and well, I put the cover in my pocket, planning to fix it, lost it as I drove home. so what is everyone's opinion on the flushmounts and how they look on the Firebolt models? |

opinion? They look cheap and out of place. do what you think looks good tho! I LOVE the Kellerman micro 1000 lights. I put a black halogen set up front on the X1 (integrated rear taillight so no need back there), and 2 sets of solver LED on the XB. not cheap, but worth every penny! |

Its all about personal preference. You can find them for less than $20 a pair.

I got a set of the R1 flushmounts and 2 set of smoke stalked LED blinkers during a recent 40% off sale. I decided to use the stalk sets (actually a third since one broke when I dropped my bike.) The flushmounts were pretty damn small. You couldn't see them from the front. I took crappy iPhone pictures and plan to do a writeup someday. |

The 1125 mirrors are DOT so no one can even give you grief over running them. |

Thanks! Some may say the 1125R mirrors are useless on the Firebolts because of the angle and/or vibration, but there are a few things you can do to fix that. |

I don't know about that, the 1125R and CR mirrors are the best mirrors I ever used. I wish they were more adjustable, but other than that they work fantastic and the LEDs are bright. |

There is a way to get more adjustment on the glass. I like my mirrors and if you search this forum and the other Buell forums you will find the complaints I am talking about.

You can find the flush mounts on ebay all day long and the mirrors from the dealership. |
