I was heading home for my lunch break and I saw this bike in front of me, and when he turned on his blinkers, they were the coolest blinkers I've ever seen.. now I need more info on them.

The bike didn't look like it even had blinkers.. but they were hidden in plain sight. The edge of the rear fender was the blinker. Close view looked like a black fender with a chrome trim. With the blinker activated, the right half (he was turning right) of the chrome trim blinked.

I hope this makes sense.. I really need to find more info on these blinkers.

I'd say it was similar to that.. but the blinker followed around the side of the fender along the curve..

so the light started midway at the rear of the fender, followed the trim around the appropriate side about 1/3 the way along the side trim of the fender as well..

I cant find it anywhere.. if I see the guy again I'm gonna have to ask him about it.

You can get flexable LED strips. You could use those and put a blinking modular on them. I would think that would work.

Just curious was the bike a cruiser or a street warrior?
