My Talon is in for 100 mile service and I won't have it back till next week so no pics available right now.
- I mounted all 3 turn signals up front (I just have the stock bumper) but the wiring is long enough and there is some separation between the LEDs to provide some flexibility on mounting location. There is enough wire where the LED's separate that you could probably mount the LEDs 6 to 8 inches between each one of them if you wanted.
- You can mount the inside indicators just about anywhere you like, there is plenty of wire. I had a kit on my previous SXS and mounted the turn indicators in the dash in between the steering wheel spokes. Driving a SXS you tend not to look there so many times I never saw them flashing and I was a blinker geek for miles. On my R, I decided to mount them in the center for 3 reasons.
- There is really not a very good place on the dash in the steering wheel area.
- I glance at the electronic display a lot so a blinking green light would most likely catch my attention there more often.
- My passenger can see them and alert me too if I leave a blinker on.
Here is a generic pic of a Talon dash pointing out what I did.

Thanks, PaulF. I hadn't considered your logic on mounting location for the interior indicators, but it makes a lot of sense. I'll probably do likewise. And, because I've already got the accessory switch panel covering that cubby hole in the dash, I'll likely just mount them on each side of the panel.
I'll probably mount one of the three exterior LED's (per side) on the side, unless you think it needs all three up front in order to present a bright enough signal.
I just recently did my 100-mile service on my 1000X (did it myself, as I'm just too cheap to pay Honda to do it). We've got about 150 miles on ours now and we've been overall very pleased.
WHEN you get yours back, if you could snap a quick shot of the mounted stalk and post it here I'd very much appreciate it.
You've been a wealth of information, sir. Thanks again.
