So has anyone has bought a set of LED indicators ('turn signals' to our American chums) that actually put out a decent amount of light?
Looking for something that'll meet or exceed a 21W bulb. Some of the ones on Ebay etc are probably only half a watt which won't cut the mustard.

I got these and everybody comments how bright they are. Non-LEDs. Small but work mint. Just bought another set for my Hawk. :headbang:

And no resistors etc needed.

I reckon the BMW Euro ones (standard on NZ bikes) are pretty good. Bit of a reflector around them makes them decently bright.

The cheap ones I got off ebay seem pretty good, though the LED flasher unit was a shitter...

Oxford sell different ones in NZ.
Most LED ones are not as clear in the daylight compared to a good old fashioned bulb and orange lens. Bright as heck at night though!

Oberon make some awesome led's just like rizoma. But you may need to mortgage your mothers house to buy a set

DRC do pretty decent flashers. Proper water proof ones. And flasher relays. I got the smoked ones, inobtrusive when off bright when on. Clear as even in the day time. http://www.dirtguide.co.nz/products/214-lights_and_indicators/1026-drc_motoled_flashers.aspx
I had previously tried oxford micro and led. Both just filled with mist and rusted out. Or became opaque as the lenses filled with smog and other grit. Lasted less than a year. I'd guess about 1/2 services. So about 6k? Tried a few other more expensive ones that were not as bright. And sent them back.
I had to do something the DR shakes so much the bulbs blew often. So far the DRC LEDs have been working well an trouble free for 4 years on what was until last year a daily ride.

I put a pair of these on my smaller Bandit - they are brighter than the original indicators

I had Oxford on the back of the old blue bike. They were super bright in daylight and indecently so at night.
I didn't regret those ones, the cheap chinese crap the first owner put on popped themselves hitting a bump in the road.
Don't waste your money on cheap nasty imitations of good stuff.

i also went with a potted flasher after the first two shit themselves, may have been water ingress or maybe not, this one is still going fine though

Try "Lights4All" in Germany. I bought mine from Thurn (also Churman) and they're pretty good, but this other company's supposed to be moar betterer.
