Received mine today.....uber happy.
Going to try fitting tomorrow, so stand by for pics tomorrow evening (hopefully).
Eventually I'll be going to switchback white/amber LEE's, but in the first instance will be with Amber 1157's.
So looking forward to seeing how these look on.
Many Thanks, Ad.

Forgot to post that I got mine in the other day. Looks top quality, hadn't tried to fit them yet. Need to find some extra housings to tear apart.

Okay, so here's mine......
From start to finish, it took around two hours to do two bikes, and that includes a trip to the parts store for weather stripping.
Please bear in mind these do have amber incandescent bulbs for now, but I will be switching to LED, with white DRL's, and amber indicators, eventually. So they'll look better then.

They look great now FJ!
I like the clear lenses on my 1300 but they aren't nearly as well done as ad's lenses. The 1100 really looks great with those lenses. An updated look and a unifying affect of all three lenses. Very nice!

So happy with mine, I cannot recommend highly enough.
I have my switchback dual color LED's on order, and should have them installed by this time next week
Will post more pics to show these when fitted.

What is the bulb code number for the st1100?

1157, for the US (not sure if same applies in UK spec bikes) DRL/Indicator. Bearing in mind the thread, I assume that's what you meant.
Thats the kiddy thanks

I'd opt for some type 2 Dual Colour Switchback LEDs, but they don't come in "dual power", meaning the white side is a bit too bright (not like the 5W side of a standard 1157 incandescent bulb...)
Anyone having more luck in this?

Per post #72, I have these https://www.ebay.com/itm/131052541137?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT on order, should be arriving by Wednesday. I'll post pics, and let you know how it goes once fitted.

Got my switchback tonight and got one set fitted.........sooooooo impressed!
The whites are bright, but I like them. Anything to counter "I didn't see you there", is a good thing to me. Almost gives three light triangle, just a very, very shallow triangle.
Ambers work well. Needed the resistors, so glad I got them with the bulbs.
Will have pics tomorrow, with comparison to incandescent, before I convert the second bike.

Well, I've a slight legal issue:
like with the tail/brake-light the t/signal needs to be 4 times brighter then the position light...
Hence the Type 2 Dual Colour Switchbacks, hence the question if the white site could be dimmed...

These units are type 2.
Type 1 - White stays on while amber blinks, Theoretically giving an alternating color.
Type 2 - White extinguishes while amber blinks, then returns when amber off.
Yeah, I think a different unit would be required for you.
These units have 27 light units, each with four diodes (2-White, and 2-Amber), so I doubt whether the two white units could be dimmed independently.
I am pleased to report that we are not subject to such restrictions in Florida, so it works for me. Same brightness, either way.
For a requirement of having the turn signal being 4x brighter, I'm not sure how this would be done. Theoretically, a Type 1 having the white and amber active, should give you 2x the light, but to achieve 4x?
I'll have to check the incandescents they replaced, to see what the difference is with them, but I doubt it's 4x.
