Does anyone use these? I've been looking at cleaning up my 1G B6 and thought I'd give them a try. Any comments/pictures?

I had them. They're just standard Lockhart-Phillips units. Kinda cheap looking and not very bright. They use a special bulb that you can't get at a auto parts store, but most dealers and m/c accessory stores have them. The bulbs are a PIA to change when they burn out, which was about once a year for me. I ended up replacing them with MoTrax arrow shaped indicators. These seem to be a little better quality in the looks dept, but use the same bulbs and are just as big of PIA to change bulbs in and aren't any brighter.

I'm considering going to one of the new LED mini blinkers out there. They are brighter and don't go thru bulbs.

I guess I should've asked for someone's opinion before buying these. They're sitting in my garage waiting to be installed...

I like mine a hell of a lot better than the stockers. They're a lot more visable than the integrated units. Got mine from Holeshot and have ZERO regrets. Make sure you put them on the correct side. The little pry off spot should be facing the ground.

Do you have any pictures? I'm curious to see how they look actually on the bike.

Thanks. I'm sure I would've overlooked that.

That was my 1st round of mods. (blinkers, fender chop, superbike bars and mirrors). Phase two is a Brock/Hindle pipe, Stage two pods, GSXR cam(s)?, Dyna 2000, +6" and a fifty shot!
