Default Frenched lights or other options on RKC

Looking for opinions on light mods for my bike, thinking of frenching them like the grey bike below and getting smoked turn signal lens. Seems to improve the look of the front end compared to my stock (white) bike. If you have a pic or an idea .... i'd like to hear it.

Ebay has all kinds of these ... some are visor shaped...straight cut, smoked .... can add visors. Some of you from the South get to see a lot more bike shows than us Northerners.

And no .... I'm not going to jack up the gas cap of the white one and drive the grey one underneath it ...

The trim rings and smoke lens would be a nice addition

I've gone with the trim rings and smoked lenses and love the look. Had the same on the back until I fitted the eliminator tail-light.

I went with smoked turn lamps and the visor style trim rings for all 5 lamps. I like it a ton better and wouldnt change it. Go for it.

One of the first things I changed on my bike !!! The visor trim rings give the bike a more nostalgic look .

I liked the thicker rings for my bike, but decided to go for the staight ones rather than the visors. I am pleased with the way it looks. I went with the smoked lenses on all of the turn signals, and it seems to make the chrome stand out even more. I also added LED signals for something a little bit different.

I had the Thick ones on my RK, and I have the visor type on this one. They are on all the lights including the signals. To Each his own on the style, but I think they add to the front end.

Thanks guys, really like the looks of all of them. May have to flip a coin on visor or straight frenched but after viewing your suggestions I may have to do frenched turn signals ... front and rear. You guys are costing me money j/k ... but the improvement in your bikes is well worth the money. I'm thinking this can be done for around $100 ... tks for the ideas and pics.
