It took some time, but I finally have my new Watsen Flushmounts. They are the new Micro alloy style. They contain a single high intensity L.E.D. They are very small, light, and very bright. Easily seen in the daytime, and fantastic in the dark. They have no issue with flash rate, no noticeable change from stock. I payed for the optional running light module, ($20.00) that clips between the leads on the lights and the factory hook up point. The running lights are brighter than stock and you can see the yellow glow from them in the dark.
The instructions are basic, and don't mention that there is a right and a left for the modules. When I hooked up the left side first the flash rate was way off, (too fast), even though I carefully aligned the wires at the clip with the coresponding factory clip. I switched with the other module and they worked perfect. Just keep this in mind when installing. There is no clip on the Watsen module at the end that plugs into the bike side as he makes the plug himself, rather than use the factory"female" plug. You have to be gentle plugging in, as the pins in the "male" plug are tiny and delicate. I used self sealing rubber tape to insure the clip would stay together, and not vibrate against the fairing. It warns in the directions NOT to shorten the wire leads. This is because he uses resistance wire, instead of a resistor to insure proper flash rate. So heed the instructions.
The finish quality is great! Paint a perfect match, and no flaws in the finish. I picked mine up right at his shop in Calgary Alberta. I was shown around and saw a group of other lights sitting on a foam pad ready for packaging. He carefully packs the lights so that the painted surfaces never touch each other or anything else. There are cheaper flushmounts out there, but in my opinion, none better. All told I paid $120.00 taxes in.
