I think they get noticed as they are more inline with car drivers eyes. I had them on the X9 Evo (pervious bike). Wouldn't mind them on the GSXF although that's got huge 'tit-like' indicators. Laughing

The new gixxer 1000 will have those as standard. Maybe they are more noticable like said before, but I think they ruin the look of the bike.

Hustler has them on his GSXR600, which I recently borrowed for a day or two Wink

and can safely say ...

They are TERRIBLE!

Laughing

I think (hope) he agrees too.. you can't even see your elbows in them let alone what's behind you Laughing

Don't buy them! They are useless.

Take your current mirrors whop out the mirror and LED mod them.

Probably look like crap when mounted as well. I give 'em a big thumbs down.

I don't like them either. The other problem with moving indicators from the side fairings to the mirrors/anywhere else is that you normally end up with holes in the fairings with nothing in them. Now some people will place stickers over them but I always think that looks crap and the only way to do it properly is to have the holes filled in and the fairings repainted.

Pile of crap, keep meaning to get some normal ones sorted.

I was quite tempted for the zx9 as it had race fairings.
I wouldn't do it as a styling mod, though having extra indicators probably won't hurt as far as others seeing you goes.

Re leaving holes in the fairings, why not leave the originals on too, or would that screw with the electrics? Confused
