    Convert to "sleek and smaller" turn signal setups & revisions for Beta RS?

    Considering removing the factory Beta turn signals, storing them away in a box, and going with something smaller and sleeker. If I break them, just replace them...

    SOURCES?
    Anyone out there making a nice quality and bright front and rears 3/4 to 1/2 size of stock would be nice?

    I have been looking around for the same thing for my Bike and my Wife's Bike which we are about to Dual-Sport.

    I think I am going with Sicass Racing's LED Flat Mount lights. Was able to check out a set on a friends bike, so far they are the most "dirt bike" turns signals I have seen.

    Here is a shot of what we do. Use the RR tail piece and flush mounts. These are just K&S cheapies. Mostly we use the Sikk Ass flush mounts. Also here are the Euro type, these signals have held up thru two desert races and a few hundred miles of just play riding. I really like them. They show up much better than the flush mount and although not DOT they look like they are.

    Ahhh, I had a new RR tail and sold it because I thought it was only a running light, not a brake light also.

    Chip, price for a RR tail?

    The picture with the CA license plate: What brand are those turn signals?

    Those are Sicass. I bought some from Chip to use on my new RR tailpiece. They appear to be a tight fit on the edge of the fender. Maybe even overlapping it a bit. I am thinking of maybe making a small plastic backing plate and riveting it to the fender with the TS attached so that the back rubber seal stays intact. if I do I will post a pic.

    Great, thanks!

    I removed my head from butt and found the price for the RR tailpiece, $53.99. Why did I ever sell mine? Duh

    The ones in the photo are just some cheapies, K&S brand. The Sikk Ass are better units. I only sell the ones with a stud so they bolt on as well as stick on. The K&S ones are only around 24 bucks, I think the Sikk Ass are quite a bit more. (sorry computers turned off for end of month accounting)

    Chip... the blinkers in the photo with no plate...not the flush mounts... are those LED? That's what I have on my 2010 450RR but I wasn't sure if they are LED or not. I want to change to flush mount but want to make sure I get whatever matches what I have on there now. (As far as being LED or not that is.)

    Can I just swap conventional for LED? Will that work or do I need to change other stuff? (flasher relay?)
