I want to replace the bulky turn signals in the front of my bike. I don't want flush mounts. I've seen plenty out there but I'd like to get some votes first. Less bulky, but not so small they're pointless -- same reason I don't want flush mounts. Thanks all.
Goodluck in your search, just make sure that you be careful of different types of stalk/"leaf petal" signals. The stock 6R's signals are shaped like a tear drop and the port where they anchor into is beveled the same way on the fairings... so either you need to make sure the stalk is thicker on the different lights or go with a wider flush mount that sticks out. You can do whatever you like, but it may not look smooth unless you build some type of collar around the base of the stem on the signals.
u serious? thats all the options? I havent looked into turn signals yet but was about to start looking around, be seriously dissapointed if thats the case.
What's the problem, just the oval mounting "hole"?

I've got Oxfords on the rear, and they'll work on the front. Came with inserts to fill the hole. They're what I'd go with if I didn't want flushmounts.

I think the problem is the hole. Most of the after market stalk type signals I have seen are not made to go through the fairing and cover up the hole for the original signals. I have these on the rear but you would have to put some kind of washers and rubber boot around it or something. I would do what I and others did is put the flush mounts on and then add strips in the scoops for extra vis from the front. Check out my picts.

--I thought these Oxford Saturns would look pretty keen on an FZ6R. Smaller profile, not flush mount, but they look really nice and they also look brighter than the stock stalks.
super happy with my rizoma avio 21s. Bought some little caps from cyclegear or somewhere that fill in the odd shaped hole in the front ones. got the magic blinkers for running lights. super bright, kinda pricey, but worth it imo
Check out my profile pic. What I did was bought the flush mounts from Ebay, they were made in China for couple bucks. Disassembled the original turn signals from the stalk and fabricated the Ebay flush signals onto the stalk. Nice and clean, NOT flush, very visible since they stick out. Took less than 10 mins each side. Just a suggestion. Good luck.
Hate to bump such an old thread, but I didn't think it was appropriate to start a new thread!
Does anyone know which aftermarket front turn signals are DOT approved? I know the integrated taillights are not. I really want to keep my bike legal in my strict state.

I've done all the mods / had all the light mods done on my FZ6R when I had it, integrated tail, flush mounts etc. never had a nother look from a cop. Doesn't mean your area will be better, but I rode all over NJ and didn't run into any issues.
You can get plates that allow you to fit any after market indicator. I actually have them on my bike and can take a photo if someone wants to see it. It fills the void and looks nice.

I'm a little worried about the police stopping me, but actually I'm more concerned with the investigators that come out when an accident happens.
I've read online where someone has been rear-ended and because the twilight wasn't DOT approved, it was the riders fault. The same goes for front turn signals.
I've owned flush mounts, but had to replace them after laying my bike down. I was hoping I could find a DOT approved version.
