I just looked at the fender cabling. Is there an easy way to get to the back turn lights? It looks as if my big monkey hands are going to have problems!

Like many suggested, remove the right fairing. It's easier that way, trust me... I have small hands (I fit into a medium glove) and it's still tight. It's mainly because the wires are tucked deep in there and covered by a weather proof casing too.

I looked at that FE on ebay too, didn't really like how the metal was showing and the position but take pics of it! I made my own and saved some money. Also good job finding those flush mounts, I paid about $20 for mine but mine were chrome instead of amber.

I got the same fender kit from the same dude....just put it on today but now my front turn signals stay on even when not signalling...damn thing doesn't come with resistors so now I gotta figure out what type to get to fix the front signals :-(

You may want to send the seller a message about that....

Cheers!

The front signals always stayed on as running lights. Doesn't matter what you're using for rear signals.

I have the same rear FE. You'll notice the flashing is faster. That's because the turn signals on the rear are LEDs. There are modulators that you can get to slow them down, but I prefer having it flash that fast.

One thing I did with the bracket was take the plate light off, drill holes half way down on the plate, and mounted the plate much higher. Then rerouted the plate light to mount directly to the plate from below. Not sure how legal it is, but it works.

Are you sure? I don't recall the front ones staying on before installing this kit...hmmmm....dammit, I wish my memory didn't suck

EDIT: I just checked the hubby's Ninja 250 (stock) and his front ones aren't on when not signalling....

I'm very interested how that tank grip will turn out. I got the '09 white model as well, so I'm in the market for something to cover the tank decals. )

Keep us updated, tnx.

I have to in the spring and summer she sleeps outside of my condo instead of my mothers garage.

 

[JonKerr]

Yes I'm 100% sure. The stock front signals use a double filament light and there's a third wire in the plug. That's for the constant current to go to the running lights.

Ok its been confirmed!

Ok its been confirmed!

Yeppers..they stay on..,. caught me off guard like a month after I got it......

 

[YamahaChick]

Here's what that FE kit will look like:

May need to 'adjust' it a bit so the plate doesn't face the sky...some cops may have issues with that...

 

[MikeN02]

My plate totally faces the sky. I'd rather have it like that then puncture a tire. I haven't had any problems with cops here... it's usually when you're a jerk while riding that they write you up for other stuff.

Plus the excess metal hanging was one of the reasons why that FE turned me off.

 

[neshi]

Well I got and installed the front turn signals these are the pics! There is a holding clip on the back of the stock light. You can spin back and forth to get it off but its easier to just lift on of the tabs, it then just pops out.

 

[neshi]

So that's the GPS, the lights and stickers.

Still have the FE, wind screen & tank graphic to take care of.

 

[neshi]

just got my fe putting it together but too late to mount i envy you all with the garage

 

[JonKerr]

Here's what I did. Where the little red reflectors are I drilled new mounting holes to raise the plate. And I moved the plate light to the bottom.
