Good LED Turn Signals.
After linking these in the Facebook group, I figured I would share these for all. The price in this link is for the full set of 4, front and rear. They do tend to go out of stock, but if you miss out they will appear back in stock within a couple of weeks.
https://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-In...r%2Btrade&th=1 They are a bit more expensive than your typical LED signals you can find on ebay and Amazon, BUT, they are worth the extra money. These things are bright! Not just at night like in the video here, but they are fully visible in the daytime sun - something that cheaper LED lights often struggle with. Skip ahead to about 52 seconds if you do not want to view the rest of the videoVideo: They are built to a very decent standard - I have had zero problems with moisture and condensation. They have some flex and the plastics seem like a decent quality ABS on the body, while the lenses seem like a thicker and more durable plastic as well. The lenses have yet to yellow from sun exposure, which my Hawk has had a lot of this year. I have spent way more than this on signals of similar quality. Another bonus is that these use the standard Honda wiring harness connectors and color coding - exactly the same as the Hawk, and they come with more than enough wire to make the connections and route them as you need. These are damn near OEM quality lights. From my own advice, spend the extra money. I have yet to find a single downside to these lights. If I buy another bike, I am pretty darn sure these will go on that bike too.

It wouldn't surprise me. The design itself is pretty generic. The material quality of these is why I recommend them. They are worlds better than most of the cheap LED signals I have found and tried before, and way better than the stock hawk signals, which on mine would fog up at the slightest hint of water.

Glad you like them. Their price seems to jump up and down a bit, but they are worth the money.

I put two on the front and they would light just fine as long as I left the old bulbs on the rear. When I installed a new LED on the rear for the left. The left side front and back no longer worked. I know these led cant be pulling more juice from the battery. it must be a resistance load kind of thing. Anyone have this issue?

Just out of curiosity, ehat year is your Hawk? I am under the suspicion that the 2017s got an electronic relay from the factory. My flash rate didnt change after installing all 4 of mine.

I got it working great! After i soldered the wires up, both front and rear led lights worked like normal. They are nice and bright! I also moved all the wires from the wheel area to the cleaner and dryer location under the seat. Last edited by Musictrek; 10-26-2017 at 03:27 AM. Reason: added text |

I have been watching this group for about a month as I am trying to decide if I will buy a Hawk, Enforcer, or the Storm. I am also watching to see if they have any new releases for 2018, but I have not seen many released in our class. I already own a Harley, but I had a stroke last year. I am going to get something that weighs 1/2 of the VROD. Those LED lights look really great on the Hawk! I appreciate all of the people on this site that give their opinions and take the time to create tutorials. It makes my decision on saving some money and weight with a Chinese motorcycle much easier. It is the simple things like MegaDan's videos that make the adjustment much smoother. Thank you!

Sorry to hear about your stroke, and I commend you for wanting to keep on riding. If you have the funds, then of all of these bikes, I would say the tt250 is the way to go. The hawk is awesome, but the tt250 has a few upgrades over the hawk - coubterbalanced engine and suspension - that make it just a bit better, and having a warranty and dealer support is another positive. If you are on a tight budget though, there isnt much wrong with the hawk, but it does require a bit more effort by the owner to make a decent bike good.

Thank you for the response! That TT250 is very nice. I actually really like the copper one. These will be out by December from what I can see. It is very similar to the Hawk. I'm sure there will be plenty of gadgets to improve upon, like the LED turn signals you are speaking of.
