I have been kicking aroung the idea of adding a LED turn signal strip to my Batwing. I found a 11 inch flexible switchback strip (amber white) that would work nicely. The batwing is 22 inches from side to side (top of batwing). Stealing the idea from the pic posted below.

Would love to see it if you do

Cool. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out.

I may not have to rig it after all. Radiantz LED has it for $117

I have seen cheap led lights and they suck compared to the radiantz and custom dynamics LEDs.

I chose the cheap lights and I am quite satisfied.

This mod will be removed. Though it looks alright, I want my bike to look good. Placing an order with Radiantz this weekend.

Well after much contemplation, I stuck with the cheap route. Chose the Blinker Genie due to the fact I wanted the lights to turn completely off during the blinling process (not dim to bright)

1. 2x 5055 Strips from Autozone
2. 2x Blinker Genies from CustomLED

** Lights will not flash in unison with the lollipops (unless you convert to LED and run all front lights off of the Blinker Genie)

Here is a video clip.

If you don't want the dim function then get the blinker genie out of the circuit and they should flash in unison.

Dont want to eliminate the running light function.

Why white LED's?

I could see someone getting pulled over for that around here.

Here its gotta be yellow/amber for blinkers or they won't pass inspection on the front...

Are you sure about that? Cause NC Law is that we don't even need turn signals.

No issues here in Georgia. I checked with the GA Dept of Public Safety before my install. Now --> strobing white lights is another story..

That's not an issue with this design. The law may say that you have to have yellow/amber blinkers, but it doesn't say you can't have others, right? He's still got the factory lollipops on there, so he'd be in compliance with the law.

Also, I know nothing of NC laws, but most states may designate color if present, but don't require blinkers even be present on a motorcycle. That's what have signals are for. We all know that no one sees our blinkers anyway, right?!

The big issue that I could see is most states forbid strobe or flashing lights. Since they are not amber they couldn't be claimed as a turn signal, and would then fall under the strobe light category. I run blue/white solid color LED for ground effects and engine lights, which are illegal in Iowa, but have yet to have a problem in 2 years. If I did the same setup as this I doubt I could go a week without a ticket.

Well done mod, certainly not knocking OP down, would just use amber wired to the flash if it was my own bike.

Really neat looking mod. Well done.:wayhappy: I like the video really shows what your mod can do.
Smart move to check with the state before you did the mod.
