Personally I would avoid as they are not that visible

Depends on how much you want to be sure that oncoming traffic has seen that you are planning on turning.

would keep the standard ones. although big and ugly, they get seen better than flush ones, plus if you fall off they have a tendancy to not break off, they saved my fairing from worse damage than it got, as they stayed put. Thye is made out of some sort of boomerang plastic

Good point, but if they are so pointless, why have them at all?

Also there MAY be a legal issue on them due to the lack of visibility when you are looking across the front of the bike from an angle - the nose of the bike obscuring the light more - I seem to remember someone failing an MOT for that reason.....

Sure you dont need them, your attitude is a good one re not relying on them, but every little helps.....
