What another motorcycle part?
We've been looking at different SLS printers (nylon laser printing) specifically an EOS printer. The advantage is it's resolution and sharp details making it hard to tell they're printed. The nylon is a great plastic and used all over the place. Corvettes use a nylon intake manifold.

This is the newest wrap around turn signals for motorcycles. The advantage is they are sinked to the top fork tube allowing for heat to transfer from the LED to the bikes frame. LED's aren't an electrical or optic problem these days. The issue is totally mechanical, how do you get rid of the heat?
They're easy to install without any disassembly except to remove the old turn signals:
Without sinking the heat, you can't hold'm for 10 seconds. Mounted to the fork tube they'll run all day.
The newer style is slimmer than the old ones and much easier to install.
