is that a picture of the scoops? or fake scoops

They're not really fake as they do allow air into the engine, just not true Ram air.

They aren't blocked off and do allow air into engine bay though. More for show than anything. Can be converted to Ram air with modification. I know someone talked about doing it, just not sure it ever happened.

Maybe I missed something cause when I ran the wires there was an slit at the about 1/4 inch wide and about 3 inch long. That was it.

They aren't truly fake because they do allow air into engine, but aren't rigged as ram air so don't offer much in the way of functionality. In other words blocking them off wouldn't likely have any affect. I wouldn't mind hooking them up as ram air. Cold air intake on my Z28 had a felt affect of HP. Besides make the front end look meaner, LOL

if those provide any cooling at all i would be surprised. they do have an opening but not only is it small but the air would probably be just hitting the gas tank if i remember right. But might be fun to stuff a rag in there and see if the temp goes up.

I don't think it affects much if anything. The opening in the back is small. You could open it up some to get more air blow through it or hook it up as ram air.

Finally finished my bike's lighting today! (Chicago weather and a non heated garage)

I just purchased some led strips that I wanted to put on the scoop and use it as turn signals since my flush mounts are not that visible from the front. I wasn't able to find any wiring info, maybe someone can help me identify the wire color codes? The wires on the bike have 3 wires. The led strip has only 2 wires. which ones do I wire them to? I found this on the FZ6 forum. looks similar my FZ6R wiring colors. Should I just splice the chocolate wire and black wire for the 2 led strip wires?

Hook to negative and other to alternating power (flasher) unless you want them on all the time. That's how mine are wired.

Thanks Scott.... When you wired your, did you had to drill any holes inside the scoop for the led wires to pass through or was it routed some other way?

Nope, there's an opening in the back. I didn't take my scoops off either, I used a wire coat hanger to feed wire through.

Since there are so many different mod posts I thought I'd start a new one rather than search. So I put on flushies in the front but would like some more visibility for turn signals in the front. I thought about adding to the fake air intakes but also maybe put in new mirrors with the signals integrated. Looking for some thoughts from people who have done either of these additions and maybe which one would be better and easier to do.

I just work on this, the only thing I have to slve now is, how to fix them there.

So at the end I bought Oxford Turn Signals 7. These are "glued" with clear silicone, cable goes to back and then directly to front signals. To have proper blinking interval, use resistors. Incl. In the package. Signal is deeper in air intake, but has way to move.
What do you think about it?

I used gsxr integrated mirrors but needed blind spot mirrior to see anything, i tried LED strip lights on thr OEM mirrors but the adhesive never would stay. For the best visibility through your mirrors, in my opinion, thr stock are best, but i was donated some r6 mirrors that i really liked the look of and visibility out of. I never did the air scoops but a lot of people have.

Can you post some closer up pictures/video of how you mounted these in the air scoops?
