Light / turn signal customs?

Hi all,

New member and new owner of a 2000 VFR. Can anyone tell me where (or if) I can get a clear tail light and some sleaker front turn signals for my bike? I think mine would look really nice with white tail light plastics and a turn signals that don't stick out quite so much. I've been looking online but had no luck whatsoever. Is there a company that makes anything like this? Thanks for any help you can give!

Welcome to the site. I see you chose the best color. The only thing I've seen available is clear turn signal lens and they were in Germany, I think. I don't know of anybody here that has tried ordering them.
Check this thread and post up.....http://vfrworld.com/forums/fifth-generation-1998-2001/16768-yellow-black-attack-2.html

 

There is a group that considers the turn signals to be "dumbo ears". I do not necessarily agree, but....What they have done is remove them and replace the mirrors with integrated turn signals. As far as the holes left on the fairing--find a used rear seat cowling or a side fairing and cut and paste. Some go as far as doing body shop type work. It all depends on budget and time I guess. Yes, there are clear lenses avail, but you'd have to search.
If you go to VFRD.com and do a search for dumbo ears there are a few threads there.

 

DONE!

Thanks for the info. I was also looking at some angel eyes headlights but it sounds like they are a pain in the ass to install. The jury is still out on that one though. I do love it as is but I really think the clear tail light would look friggin' awesome.

 

As I've heard many times on this site "Anything can be done with enough money"

 

MIKYVALE has what I need!!! Lets hope he reads this topic! I have to know where he got them!!!

 

Send him a PM. He is in Italy.........

 

Check these front turn signals out too. Not the "integrated" look I was originally thinking about but I think I might like this even better!

 

I'd love to have those. If you figure out a way to get them please let me know.

 

No problem! Keep your fingers crossed!:vtr2:

 

^^They are just the stock turn signals. Just not in America. In canada I believe. Can anyone double check me?

 

i'm currently trying to get in contact with the german eBay seller who lists clear/smoke VFR tail lights. I think I'd fancy a smoked rear end on my red 5th gen :hump:

the clear are listed here: Clear LED-Tail light with signals Honda VFR 800/RC46 on eBay, also Honda, Motorcycle Parts, Motorcycle Parts Accessories, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 24-Aug-08 20:10:55 BST)

he claims to ship world wide as well.

 

OMG he has them! Spendy buggers. Now to convince the wife...

 

well I went ahead and payed an obscene 160 something euros (~240 bucks) to get the smoked LED tail-light for my 98. 19%VAT for shipping outside the EU. Will I be the first in the US w/ these on a red VFR? Stay tuned for pics.

 

Well i can tell you the clear indicator lenses look sweet on the front of my red 98 viffer :wink:
Just waiting for the clear rear lense to come now, next couple of days i hope
Just need to update my pics to show the bike with them fitted !

 

Two trips around the world and 2 months of waiting because of a return-to-sender glitch w/ shipment, but I finally installed my whitelights from Germany today.
