I agree Chris, function over form any day.  Thanks for bringing that to uh,
ahem, light!  I think those clear lenses are third party so it may also be a
matter of good diffusion.

On my old Trophy, one of the popular mods was simply replacing the stock 5w
bulbs with 11w to get a more noticable turn signal.  I haven't looked to see
what the stockers in the ST are, never burned one out either.  But I'd guess
the "orange" or amber bulbs used with clear lenses come in various wattages
too...

Along the same lines, is there a mod around to turn the the rear signals on as
running lights?  Perhaps one of those Electrical Connection kits that are out
for various bikes like the one for the VFR?  Hmmmm...
