    Default New "Flatz" Running / Signal Lights

    These are the new, updated Flatz that are shipping now. LEDs are 3X brighter than before and project through our "Side Glow" Lens for front and side visibility in a cleaner package.

    The new version looks nice, I'm using the older ones as well and they work great so far. They get alot of looks and compliment the body design alot more than the lollipops.

    $189 for an LED that attaches with two sided tape... Seems way over priced in my book, but thats just me.. REALLY?!

    Would you feel better about the price if you had to drill holes in the bracket and screw the light to it?
    Maybe so, but isn't everything. It's not cheaply made at all. They are made of metal and the chroming is very nice. I bought mine NIB from a member for 125.00 I like them cuz they're stealthy

    They do look good. It's hard to justify 189.00 for plexiglass, LED's, chrome plates and two sided tape.

    Hey BB, I think I like the old ones better. Not sure if the new are chromed like the old ones and $189.00 is steep.

    Nope. I just think $189 is to much. Maybe for some it is cheap but not me. If they were more like $89 I would be interested but to each his own. They do look nice thou and I agree with you. They are stealthy looking.

    Oh I agree w/ you on the price. Not sure if I would have bought them at that price but then again, I haven't seen anything else like them. Most likely I would have gone w/ the small Kury bullets if I hadn't come avross the ones I did.

    I paid a decent chunk for my Kuryakyn footpegs and mirrors and these signals are by far of better quality than those 2 are, I agree tho the price could be bit lower.

    I've got the old style and I felt the same way until I bit the bullet. I love mine. The only thing cheap about them is the tape that holds them on and I would challenge someone to find a different/better way to mount them. They are extremely high quality.

    Wish I could get my hands on the older version. Really like them. Maybe I'll give the guys at raw a call and see if they have some laying around.

    Thanks for posting these pics Bernie. I really like these and they are what I want to update to when I get rid of the stock lollipops. I wonder if they may offer the older style like these at a better rate sometime soon? Were they difficult to get set up (wiring etc)?

    Nope, pretty simple to do. The hardest part was getting that damn mounting screw out of the stock lolli's.

    Gotta agree with you. Price is too steep. I bet if was $100 - $125 they'd sell TONS more of them ! Might be less of a margin, but if sell more, it might mean more total cash in their pockets in the end ... then again what do I know ? I just want cheaper signals
