These older bikes do not have "hazard lights". The headlights are on and the taillight has the single filament lit. The FZR does have running lights in the form of the turn signals as well. But if you replace the turn signals (as you have done) with something else, usually that function goes away. Only reason why is that the newer one and replacement signals usually use a single filament bulb instead of a dual filament bulb. You can get some wire adaptors that will connect the two wire signals to the three wire harness so that they also act as running lights. But unless Texas requires it for inspection, why bother.
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.

Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....Then I realize that it is the train coming to run my ass over....
