I plan on mounting a set of these LED turn signals onto my bike. Either on the sides of my saddle bag or my trunk, I have not decided which yet. They are used on the side of the cabs of Volvo transport trucks as as additional signals. Which means you can go into any Volvo truck dealer to get them. The grey plastic part can be painted to match the color of the bike.

All eyes on our Allies 07/22/2009 FERGUS, Ont. -- When the pedal-to-the-metal crowd meets the pedal-steel-guitar crowd in this central Ontario town for the annual Fergus Truck show this week, they’ll get a chance to see a platoon of some of the prettiest iron on the continent. The Show ‘n’ Shine event is always a big draw. But this year, one truck in particular is guaranteed to bring tears to even the most jaded of eyes. It’s a 2010 Volvo VN 670 with a 485-hp D 13 Volvo engine, I-shift automatic transmission, fully tricked out sleeper berth, aluminum wheels, full fairings and everything else an owner-operator might want in a truck. (Just thinking about it makes you kinda emotional, don’t it?) http://todaystrucking.com/images/usr_220709124206_Ally02.jpg But here’s the thing: Every year, Volvo employees in the New River Valley Plant in Virginia trick out one rig for use in the Memorial and D-Day parades Stateside, and this year, they borrowed this 670 from Sheehan’s Truck Centre in Burlington, Ont., for the honor. The truck’s a virtual history lesson. Most recently, the truck that will be on display in Fergus was escorted through Washington D.C., by a few hundred motorcyclists, as part of the Memorial Day Weekend. http://www.todaystrucking.com/images/usr_220709124206_Ally01.jpg And the good folks in Virginia didn’t overlook the Canadians who fought so valiantly in WW-II. Explains Volvo spokesman Jim McNamara: “If you look closely at the image on the fuel tank fairings, you’ll see Canadian flags in front of gravestones and a bagpiper playing, in remembrance of the role Canadian soldiers played on D-Day.” The Fergus show opens Thursday and runs until Sunday.
