So I've run across a few threads and some videos about mounting new turn signals on the FZ-07. I just ordered a fender eliminator and my next order of business is going to be the turn signals. I've seen plenty of choices on a few sights but the main thing I've seen is fitting them to that large sort of oval opening in the front. I was wondering what sort of solutions were available as far as covers go to get the opening covered so it looks pretty much factory. Also I was curious about opinions on the best looking style of turn signals as I'm still debating that as well. any help is appreciated. thanks.

oh little bit about the bike. It's a white 2015 FZ-07 about 1500 miles on it. put a yoshimura exhaust on it about 750 miles ago and absolutely love it.

If I wanted curves I would have bought a Suzuki Gladius instead of the FZ-07. Not too small, not too big, have sharp angles, running front lights function, I can't ask for more. As far as the fitting, removing the stock lights shows 2 holes... i just use the small ones and have the big ones there as... um... ventilation hahah

Motodynamic has these adapter plates, and I think they're the cheapest around.

I just purchased these from Revzilla. The narrow ones are for the front and the diamond shaped ones are for the rear. The brand is Oxford. When I get them installed I'll post pics.

for safety ill stick with my over sized stock orange melon turn signals

I would stick to the originals too but I hate the way they wobble all the time.

I have an FZ09, but the turn signals are the same on the FZ07 I think. I replaced my front turn signals with Lightech brand LED turn signals and installed an electronic flasher unit to keep the blink rate the same as OEM. The rear of the bike has a motodynamics integrated taillight/turn signal unit on it.

Nick - not sure what the yellow stock turn signal do for safety. A good pair of LED signals is brighter and more visible.... my 5 cents

 

[nick]

the only time the signal light are on is when your turning right? so when there off theres no light but the big orange melons are still visible... my 1 cent

 

[NickP]

Wouldn't the aftermarket turn signals stay on as well?

 

[nick]

im not sure do the signals stay on all the time i never checked?

 

[NickP]

Ya the stock ones act as daytime running lights, at least mine does...

It's hard to find aftermarket signals that are wired to run also as running lights as the stock 07 signals are.

Signals wired for running lights have 3 wires instead of just 2.

Or you can buy an adapter from 12 0'clock labs for $30 that makes your existing signals act also as running lights, works for front or rear.

My dealer recommended I go with the R1 led turn signals. Smaller and brighter. Same connector.

The ones that I mentioned above in post #7, also function as running lights.

 

[rjmims6017]

I bought the Blinker Genie off of Amazon. They convert any aftermarket signal into a daytime running light as well. I haven't hooked it up yet but it got great reviews.

Any Japanese bike I've ever owned had the front turn signals act as running lights. The rears are only turn signals though. I rode out to Albuquerque to see a friend several years ago and he had non-OEM signals that were so darned small that I couldn't tell when they were on or not and I had a hell of a time trying to follow him in a town where I didn't know where anything was. It's my aim to let everyone behind or in front of me know my intention whether its to turn or brake. It's a common courtesy in my opinion and I get really frosted when someone is coming toward me meaning to turn but doesn't use their signals and I miss out on an opportunity to get out into traffic.
