So I can not get a straight answer from anyone on this. I hope that someone here has done this before so I can get this handled. I ordered a Proton turn signal kit for my 2012 FZ6R. I'm sure some or a lot of ya have done this. Do I need to purchase a different relay for the system??? I here a lot of "you may need" comments but nobody is very specific about it. I'd like to not wait for more parts if I need to. I'd rather be riding. :) Thanks in advance!

Interesting..... Wondering if the FE kit will do the same thing. I don't really care as long as they match and it's legal to do it.

I am pretty sure it has to do with changing to LED lighting. So if you change any of your stock flashers to LED then it will likely change the blinking rate.

Makes sense. LED electrical resistance is far different that conventional bulbs. Thank you for the link!

And forgive me for the added questions..... but I would probably need one for the rear too correct???

I just left mine flashing slightly quicker. Its doesn't bother me, seems more vissable actually. I hear some states don't like it though.

I couldn't stand the fast flash, but I did it with in line resistors, wish I new there was just a relay to swap lol.

It looks cheap and unfinished to me. Lol, like how a car acts when one of it's turn signals is out.

uhm, I'm pretty sure the protons are fine without any additional parts... aren't they programmable flash?

it is only with the cheap led "lights" you need to do this...

yeah, no worries on the proton!

"Custom machined from solid acrylic. Perfectly fitted to the motorcycle, no cutting or drilling required to install
Ultra bright LEDs are easily seen in daylight, from the front, back and side
Retains full running-light functionality
Tough acrylic housing wont fade, scratch or crack
LEDs last many years of normal blinker use - they will never burn out
User selectable blink effects, including stock, fade and strobe
Full overload, over-voltage and reverse hook-up protection
Internal load-balancing prevents Proton lights from fast flashing"

Must be why they cost $90 bucks over the $10 ones from ebay that I think look better and are more visible :)

BOOM!!!! I learded somethin tudayyyy..... :p

Thanks for all the replies. These lights were not cheap and I didn't want them to be. I'd like my bike to be a sexy *****, not a cheap whore. I've been shafted by E bay before....
