1st off Im new here & search on the forum didn't give me what I was looking for (at least not that I found) so go easy on me as this has probably been asked about 3k times..
I just picked up an 2009 fz6r on tuesday. So far it has been great & I have found the answer to several questions here so thank you to everyone contributing info on this forum.
Today I ordered a Fender Eliminator kit from Ebay. It comes with 4 LED turn signals which look a whole lot better then these giant stock ones.
Will these be bright enough? Most of my riding will be in the daytime so I am kind of worried that there wont be enough uumph to them to be seen. Also with these I am guessing they are coming as just 2 wire's. Is there a preferred method for wiring them in. I am fairly proficient with a soldering iron & heat shrink so I am not worried about making the connections. I am guessing though that the stock lights have a connector so I am guessing its a matter of cutting off this connector as to leave the bikes wiring harness alone.
Also I assume that I will need a relay, but my googlefu seems to be failing me as I cant seem to find one that list's for all LED flashers. I don't foresee myself ever going to one of the integrated LED/Flasher tail lights, but if I come across an all LED tail light without the flashers at a decent price I may add that.
Not related to the flasher's, but one other thing I am going to do is remove the decal's from the tank. Mine bike is white & it came with the black tribal crap with pink trim & the previous owner removed the rest of the decal's & then used a sharpie to cover the pink on the tanks graphic. Is this as simple as a little patience & a heat gun, or is this more in depth since I believe it is clear coated over.
So any help on this would be appreciated.
