Good set of 3-wire, LED flushmounts? - Sportbike Addicts

Now that the bike is down for the winter, I've started work on getting my plastics fixed and repaired. The previous owner of my bike was quite an idiot, and somehow managed to drill multiple holes around where the front turn signals go... in addition to dremelling out the main hole itself. The process of getting the holes filled in and sanded down is going quite well, but now I'm faced with a bit of a dilemma. The original holes where the Hotbodies LED flushmounts would have mounted no longer exist. In fact, the cowl fairing (once I'm done) will be completely flat where the turn signals once were.

Does anyone have a suggestion on a high quality set of LED flushmounts that are 3-wire and would work well being mounted flat against the outside of the fairing?

Here's the bodywork thus far, and what I'm (sort of) working with:

The greg's flushmounts are really nice. I have them on of of my bikes. beautiful works of art but they are a little pricey....

I like the Gregg's pieces as well. But they're designed to fit into those little recesses in the plastic, which I no longer have. The fairing is completely flat and flush.

Pardon my ignorance. But aren't you going to at least need a hole to install whatever blinkers you go with? If so you are open to just about any turn signal. Unless you go with a "stick on" type. And still I am assuming that you will need a pass through fro the wires.

Haha, yes indeed... it will still need a hole for the wires.

But what I'm trying to avoid is having to "embed" the blinkers into the plastic, if that makes sense.

Whatever you get, make them FACE FORWARD. If they face the side, they are useless, just a 'marker light'.

Lately I have been doing a bit of business with these guys. Excellent products so far and they insanely bright. So far installation on both the r6 and the r6s have been quite easy and I have been pleased with the results.

Funny you should mention that. I've considered putting a forward-facing set in the upper corners of the headlights, or on the outside of the mirrors (like the GSX-Rs) in addition to the sidemarkers.
