what did you end up doing for signals? i've had enough of the bar end mirrors. couldn't stand to look at them another day, so off everything came. not really digging the frame mounted flashers that i've seen some do. looking for ideas. hand signals for now.

The guy I bought my hyper from had a strip of LEDs mounted in the side fairing triangular openings. Looks very cool but close to 100% worthless as far as visibility/safety is concerned. You can also make two small brackets and just mount them on the black plastic cover under the instrument panel to have them beside the headlight for a more 'classic' look.

The DP mirrors have LED strips built in and plug right into the handguard wiring... seems like the best and most visible way to go. They look good, too.

I actually LOVE the bar end mirrors! The Hyper is 1st bike I've owned where I can see ALL the way behind me without contorting my arms! But I can see where that w i d e front end might not be everyone's cup of tea...

I just did away with my blinkers. TX law say you dont have to have them, and I dont do much riding in traffic.... So no blinkers

I went with the DP mirrors with built-in signals and like them a lot. They're pricey but I was able to get a decent discount from my dealer, so I jumped on them. Unlike the stock bar ends, which I didn't actually hate, the DP mirrors are vibration free and hold their positions. An added bonus is that they're highly visible to oncoming cars.

Those look like vibration dampeners there, not adapters.
