Bullet signal lenses 3 Years, 2 Months ago  
Anyone have experience with bullet rear lenses? If so got pics of them on your bike? And do the ones that fit Harleys fit R*?

Don't know about the HD bullets but I run a set of smoked HD flat lenses and they bolt right onto the Roadstar signal housings. They don't sit flush, they stand off about 1/8" but I've never had any kind of problem with water or anything.

I bought a pair on Ebay from china and was surprised of the quality but they have a bolt on the end not a shaft. I'm going to try to make them work. I also bought a module that plugs in and makes the turn signals running lights and brake lights and the brake lights flash on and off.

I wasnt talking about the entire signal housing just the lenses themselves. Are they the same size as the HD lenses and can they fit as a direct fit to our turn signal housings/ It appears that they are the same size and bolt hole line up as the R* signal housings.

I asked about using Strat bullet lenses here a couple of days ago and was told they were held in with a set screw and not 2 screws like the Roadie. I wanted to go with those lenses but too much fabbing. Will be standing by on this thread as well.

Re:Bullet signal lenses 3 Years, 2 Months ago  
Now this is what I am talking about with this question. I just found these on Ebay and I know the guys says they fit R* but I know a lot of people are full of shit and so I don't trust this without seeing it in person. That is unless someone on the forum can confirm it. I am also sending this guy a question about it to see what he says. But surely someone else has put these on their R* that is a forum guy.

With a feedback score of over 10,000 and 100% positive feedback, I would highly doubt that this one if full of anything but the facts, "just the facts ma'am"

After checking your link, I can see why you started the thread. I like them. I'd really like to see a good pic of them mounted with the visors.

Re:Bullet signal lenses 3 Years, 2 Months ago  
I like those, and they should add some side visibility as well. I'm always a fan of more light on the back without a lot of complications. I bought a set of warrior front signals and gutted them to 2-element my rear turns and put the stock style red lenses on, but I like these more. I've already got the truck stop marker lights on my saddle bags for added light, but I'll take these too!
