Smaller turn signals! - Yamaha FZ6R Forums - International FZ6R / XJ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Howdy, unfortunately I can't have flushmounts on my bike! My post won't allow it! SO I was wondering if anybody has found any that are smaller or something that is visible from the front as well! I hate looking at those alien eyes on my bike!

So I don't get why you can't have flush mounts?? There isn't much out there besides flushie and some universal dinky arrows

I have R6 flush signals. They stick out about half inch and tilted foward. So they could be seen from the front and are actually not flush in our bikes. I got them from a friend to try them. They fit nicely and to my liking they stick out enough to be seen from the front. I never like flush mounts just because they could only be seen from the side not the person across from you. But this ones fit my standars.

I put these on the back of my bike. Should work fine for the front. Very bright and they stick out much further than the flushies. Only problem is you'll have to drill a couple of holes to mount them on your fairings.

If you swap out the mirrors for the Trojans with integrated signals you will have forward facing blinkers. Then you can get flush mounts and be visible from the front and side.

This is a good idea, at the sacrifice of not seeing behind you quite as easily...or at all :P

I did manage to find an angle that works...sort of :P

Here's a pic of how I mounted those signals on the back of the bike. I like them a lot more than the little arrow LED's that came with the FE kit.

And here's the new mirrors I got for the front signals. I have the R6 flush mounts but had people tell me they couldn't see them from the front at all. So now they're hole fillers until I make a Y connector so I can have both the mirrors and the flushies working at the same time.

Well, can't have the Flush mounts cause they won't pass my safety inspection on post to ride! They have to be visible from the front!

Hey man, what year of R6 flush mounts do you have and brand!? Sounds like it could work! Also if you don't mind, could you post a pic!?
