Light / turn signal customs?

[Krazy Dave]

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.

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.

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. :-)

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

[Y2Kviffer]

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!

[Y2Kviffer]

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!

^^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

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.

[Krazy Dave]

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

[Streetmachine]

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.

[RaceAce]

Well i can tell you the clear indicator lenses look sweet on the front of my red 98 viffer
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.
