Kellermann signals????

I'm thinking about buying these...they don't work as running lights which is kind of a bummer for visibility (I guess most after market leds don't).....any thoughts???

Kellermann LED Micro 1000 Turn Signals : Bayside Performance, Canadian Source for 98-2010 Motorcycle Parts, Sportbike Accessories And Apparel

I'm not feelin how the watsens look...they're great for a faired bike cuz they mount flush with the fairing but the body of the light looks like a UFO. I've actually talked to Mr. Watsen on the phone, I almost bought them but they look too much like space ships for me.

have you seen them mounted to the 919? They fit perfect onto the factory mount location and looks like stock.

Yes, the Zero 11's (which I have) are bright, and are visible from any angle.

However, I have seen Pvster's Watsens, and they are brighter, by a magnitude of two or more.

Even though they are flush mount, they look very good. He also has Zero 11's on the rear, so a quick comparison was very easy.

Pvster, we just need a way to put the Watsens on the rear....

close ups as promised!

also posted pix of my rear lights as well for a comparison.

edit: yes my headlight housing is cracked.... tried forcing the headlight into the housing one too many times with one of the wires out of place and the damn thing cracked from the stress after a period of time. still works fine in the rain lol.

I've been in contact with Roger at Watsen's and he suggested using one of their universal signals on the rear. Look at their BMW page to see what he is referring to do. Basically, on the rear cowl, drill and mount where you like. And... they no longer offer the option for the fronts to come from them wired for running lights. But I saw on Custom LED"S page they have a 2 to 3 wire adapter so you can use the fronts as running lights. Just wondering how much more junk can be crammed into the headlight bucket...
