I think its asking for trouble from a safety standpoint, I know I can't stand to ride behind someone with intergrated turn signals because it makes it harder to figure out which way they are turning, I can only imagine how much it will confuse a cager in oncoming traffic, they might think you are flashing them to allow them to cut in front.

I'd have to see it in person first before I made a decision, hopefully it works better than I believe it does.

I can't see it... Ever since a Flash update a few days ago Youtube doesn't work most of the time.

OK, finally got it to work...

#1 put the correct damn flasher on there so it doesn't seems so spastic.

#2 the visibility is low, especially at a slight angle due to the lens in the headlight.

I agree, this is someone looking for a day in court.

I haven't had front signals since I bought the bike like 4 years ago. Never seem to have an issue so far. I always use hand signals, just was bored and figured I would mock something up that was different. I ran the idea across my buddies for his bike and he said "it couldnt be done".. well i had to prove it wrong.

Why did he think it couldn't be done? You could have also gotten an LED Angel Eye kit and used that for the turns.

I agree with Froggy, I have a couple of friends with integrated tail lights and I absolutely hate them. Sure they clean up the look of your bike, but at the high cost of visibility.
