Got them on. I used a dremel to cut out the bolt and nut, and gorilla glued it to the back. I then affixed to the fairing with a dab of gorilla glue, and then the nut on the back...as well as a screw into the little screw part that was there for the bracket. I think its fine. Ill recheck in a few days.

As far as function, they work great. Ill post a video at some point since its better than pics for the blinkers.

May have taken some creative engineering, but the end result looks great. I made my flushies running lights last night while I had the bike apart. I put the magic blinkers on and re-did the wiring with crimp connectors and not tape. Took off my my integrated mirrors too and put zx6r mirrors back on. May put them back on eventually, just not right now. Love the carbon zx6r mirrors. Wish I had your patience to take all the pics during install. Great pics!

Thanks :)

I like the ZX6R CF mirrors I got...will take some getting used to since I had the stock mirrors for 3 years.

I like the flush mounts alot...Im kind of picky though, so the mounting is bothering me since its not perfect (Ill get over it).

Looking forward to updating this when I get my FE and back signals on. Need to get a 3/8" drive 6mm socket to put on my torque wrench to use as a breaker bar...those back fender bolts on their like crazy.

Been so long that I don't remember removing the fender bolts. Your gonna have a whole new bike when you're done.

You get the FE and rear signals installed yet Jimmy?

No. Probably not till 2 weeks from now...put an order in for some Hex sockets (need them to put on a breaker bar or my torque wrench...I'll use them for other stuff too). Have a deadline through next Wednesday and out of town next weekend. SO, she waits....

sucks, but will be worth it in the end.

Came out great. Although I do need to get a flasher relay, back signals cause fast blinking. Otherwise, all set!

Looks good Jimmy! Surprised the rear signals caused fast blink. My rears are led and didn't cause a fast blink. When I replaced the front signals with flushies I had to get a replay though. Easy to do, just more waiting.

The fast signal is ok, but I find it annoying. I ordered the relay you suggested! :) Ill post up videos and a few more pics (of the HID retrofit too) soon!

Yeah same here, I took a few pics, but it was somewhat dark and really hard to get a good pic of the retrofit. Wow, what a difference the HID makes. I could see pretty wide and far in front on a night ride the other night. The blue led is bright as $hit too.

lwclancers, think those flushmount turn signals you installed would fit inside the cowling? I was thinking of using the adapters with it to make a nice clean set up along with a pair of proton turn signals on the side.

Basically splicing the female adapter that comes with it to the female adapter from the bike and then using those two female adapters and connecting the male adapters from each light to them. If that makes sense...Basically cleaning up the wires as best as possible and maintaining things plug and play as much as possible. Then using a separate led relay instead of the ones that come installed in that led flasher relay you have.

Nice job. Dude what's the tag for on ur fork
Click to expand...

LOL! My ahole inspector placed my sticker there as well. I had the previous sticker mounted up behind the fairing on the top of the fork. Visible only by looking down at it from next to bike. Both are legal mounts in PA or on the windscreen, but I ain't having that. LOL!

No, they wouldnt work that way. The opening in our fairing has a recess and an edge. Youd have to cut away that edge within the recess to allow anything to fit through....and then youd lose the ability to tighten any sort of adapter down.

Ah ok, yea. Sorry for the misunderstanding. The little dome lights will likely go up in the intake somewhere...there just isnt a flat surface for a truly flush install. Still thinking this one.
