Flush mounts pissing me off

[Wooster]

I remember reading on here someplace of somebody having the same issue, but I can't find it. I'm hoping you guys might have an answer.

I hooked up my rumble concepts flush mount turn signals this morning. Besides the fact I snapped off one of the plastic bolts to the lights, now I'm noticing one light is darker than the other. Everything works fine on them (running lights and blinkers) but I can't figure out why the left is so much brighter than the right. Any ideas???

flush mounts

Are your fush mounts clear or smoke? Could it be the lens is darker on one? It may not be the light at all, just the lens color. Just my thoughts!

They are the smokes ones, but from what I can tell the darkness of the lense looks the same on both. I'm going to contact rumble concepts tomorrow and see what they have to say. These things really aren't worth a shit.

maybe a shady wiring job on your part check your crimps!!!

Hahahaha......Now I go outside and see that the left turn signal is loose. After taking a closer look at it I see the bolt on that blinker broke too. I'm telling ya I barely tightened these things and they broke. Can't wait to see how much of a pain in the ass its going to be to return them.

DO NOT BUY RUMBLE CONCEPTS GHOST FLUSH MOUNTS. THEY ARE GARBAGE!!!

You can try just using silicone to hold them in place. Works like glue, but if you want to take them off, it comes off the bike clean.

the only flushmounts worth buying are the proton flushies, the brightest and by far the easiest to install. dont need a relay. fits perfect

Yeah the nightmare came to an end this morning when I ripped them off the bike. I just got back from the shop that I ordered them from and the best they can do is order me another set of the same lights.

Hopefully the replacements work better than the first set. I'm just going to have to rig up another way to mount them to the fairings cause the plastic nut and bolt on them is garbage.

I probably should just go with the protons, but I really like the smoked look and they do not offer that in the protons.

thank you for that, the turn signals i got came with about a millimeter of double sided tape to hold them on and i just dont trust it.

Hotbodies has smoked flush mounts, that looked just like my blue ones...

To each their own. I use them and they work great.

Hey I think they look good and would be happy as hell if they didn't break, but that's not the case. I don't know, maybe I just got a defective set. Hopefully the new ones they are sending have a stronger plastic bolt and nut on them cause the last set broke way too easy.

Yeah, if I were you (I hate when people say that), I'd put a thin bead of clear silicone around the signal's hole in that recess from the stock stalk to help secure them and gently tighten the nut onto the stud. Maybe put a little locktite on it and just finger tighten it to be safe.
