This is such a cool idea, thanks for sharing. I got everything and ended up getting the lenses from Moto Lume.
LED RUNNING SPOT LIGHT & AMBER TURN SIGNAL IN ONE!

Good job guys.
I'm done.
Paid too much sourcing from so many places, but I like the concept. Easy to deploy too.
Thanks

Still, it's cheaper than buying the Yamaha LED and losing the front running lights!snakebitten said:

I really shouldn't have whined. Sorry.zamfield said:
You are right. This is a clever idea and a nice visibility enhancement too.
Besides, it's chump change compared to a couple of farkles I am dishing out for this week.
(Ohlins is a bad word for the budget)
And yes, you made me feel better.
Onlins!! ::26:: <Drool>
You can't say Ohlins without saying "Oh!" ::012::

MotoLume charges a lot for their shipping and handling and did not come close to sending it out within 24 hours like their site promises. I just spoke to them this morning and it's just going out today; disappointing passive-aggressive customer service when I asked about the delay. Look elsewhere....Thunderpig said:
Clever Idea. I like it!
My clear lenses came in. They come as a "European Kit". Which means amber bulbs are included.
Thought I would do the switch while I wait for the cool leds and flasher.
But, it appears our bulbs are different. We have 2 filaments and 4 contacts. These amber bulbs have 2 filaments, but only 2 contacts.
So no blinky blink. Strange though. With only 2 contacts, how do they light the second filament?
No fun until my LEDs arrive, I guess.

I got a note from MotoLume that they cancelled my order and refunded my money. I asked 58cycle.com and they said they would not have them for 6 months. So, I'm back to square one looking for clear lenses.

Hand signals. If there's a will, there's always a way!
Seriously, though, I feel your pain of getting half way into a project only for it to take a left turn. It just never goes right... ;D
Ok, that was bad.
Thunderpig, I musta got the last set from 58cycle. Wierd too, since I never get lucky like that.
Karson, you hilarious. But I'm at the MotoGp. So nananananana. (I think that is the right amount of na's)

Anyone else done this yet then?
Finished mine tonight. Took a while for all the goodies to come in from various sources.
Worked just as described. Even my hazards work just fine.
Plug n play. Always nice.

I just put it all together today and it works great. I had to use a different lens so it required a little trimming of plastic and I ended up hot-gluing the bulb housing into the lens because it didn't have the screw-in lock.
I am very happy with the result: visibility is much better with the bright, white lights.

Did mine and it looks great! Only problem was the lens being a bit small for the housing,but some electrical tape on the inside edge sorted that.Thanks Zamfield ::012::
Has anyone found another source for the lenses? I found one place, but their shipping costs were extravagant...
That's great Caps! - Like the vid too... shows them off nicely!
