Server?

[ZG]

Server?

Scroll down bro and you'll understand, I have the pics from today on my BB but our server is down so I can't get to them to upload to my photobucket...

[mikeboileau]

My son has a BB....that server seems to go down alot.  DroidX guy myself.

[ZG]

My BB is fine, it's my work server that's down, so I can't email them to myself/photobucket...


What do you have cheese on your head or something??     

[mikeboileau]

Clear as mud!

Having previously managed a BES, I can attest that it's the biggest pile of **** known to man!

Haha, seriously though, doesn't BB have Dropbox or something that you can use without having to "email" it? Surely you have a USB cable laying around...

I'm flattered at the anticipation, but I'm not about to go stone age and break out cables and try to learn something new OL... 


Trust me, I want to post them as much as it sounds like you guys want to see them, I'm sure that will be tomorrow.


It's like waiting to see who wins dancing with the stars...   


No for real I'm not watching it for me, I have 2 daughters and I'm just in the background on my laptop... 


Go cute girl in the short blonde hair...

Nice looking bike.
Are those ugly warning labels still on your saddle bags? <hint>

Not anymore. The chrome letters are gone now, too.

I would have mentioned the green, but doubt they are legal!  Oh, and the smoked ones are probably not legal either.

But I guess if you think about it, the clear ones may not be legal either as they are probably not DOT approved, but your chances of getting nabbed with them are much less.

Check your local laws.
Blinkers are not required by law here in N.J. 
No inspection for M.C.s either.

... the clear ones may not be legal either ...

The bike came from the factory with the clear lenses.

From what I understand (which is questionable) the laws about color have to do with the light itself, not the lense. So, Even tho the lense may be green, blue, or plaid, if the light itself is amber (or red for brake) then it shouldn't be an issue.

As for state laws... Here's a good link to find laws for every state http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com/asp/legisltn/laws.asp

Ok, finally!! Here's the pics...     
 
Before front...
 

 
After front...
 


 
Before rear...

Before profile shot...
 

 
After profile shot...
 


 
 
And they work great, it doesn't seem to dim the brightness of the blinker at all when it's actually in action... (these shots were tough to get, timing, timing, timing...)
 

 

 
 
This is a very good farkle for pretty low cost IMO, they are very subltle but look tons better than the stock blinkers. They aren't a dark tint, just a nice smoke color to them instead of being completely clear, does not appear to diminish the function at all IMO. The front ones lower profile really look great and blend nicely with the mid-fairing...
 
One thing to note is that the pig-tails for the front blikers these came with are not a direct insert into the OEM plug, had to take the pig tails off the OEM blinkers, not a big deal at all but I'm just letting you know...
 
OK, so now what do you guys think??

[mikeboileau]

Subtle is right, I had a hard time keeping the pics straight.  Lower profile on fronts.  Nice and clean.

[mikeboileau]

I won't be doing the tail light though, I want to keep that as visible as possible...

 
I am suprised the pigtails don't plug and play.......Boo
