Right now I have none! In KY you can use hand signals tho so if I see an officer around I try to do that but 9 times out of 10 I dont so I figured I should pick some up

Those tiny little things are so useless you might as well not have any at all. If you can't see them until you're 6 inches away, what's the point?

That was going to be the plan. You guys have any other suggestions?
I got the integrator that was like a wiring relay so your brake light would blink as you hit the turn signals, but it messed up my brake lights and they stayed on 100% of the time so I got rid of that.

That sounds like operator error on the wiring ...................

I tried to take pics last night and found that without the battery fully charged, you can't see the turn signals at all at night.
If I can't get it straightened out I might be converting back to the old setup with stalk turn signals.
One option I almost pursued was using the clear lens and an integrated LED taillight off of either a first-gen R6 or first-gen R1. One of them had dual round taillightsthe same size as the FZR600, and it looked like you could just mount it under the lens and get the same effect I have on mine.
