Anyone donethis? Is it worth it?

depends on the taillight you're using. i wouldn't use it with the stock taillight, just cuz i think its ugly in my opinion. but if you're going to run different taillights like r6 or something, its a great way to clean up the tail cuz you don't need turn signals

Ian,
before you spend your hard earned, check the state laws on this mod it is not legal in some states (well at least according to some US bikers on other lists )

Here in the UK my brother was going to by a HD (yup he is weird) and that came with tail light & indicators as one and a traffic cop mate told him he was on dodgy ground.


There was no precedent for it even tho it was HD original stuff out of the factory he may still have to argue with a traffic cop and fight it in court if required

I did that to mine, it really cleans up the back. but its not very visible, at least with the stock light. I don't think that anyone can see the signals during the day, but i don't know. I've never had any trouble with the law, and i even had one pull up behind me at a stop sign i was turning at. But that was at night

A buddy of mine has integrated signals on his FZ6 and I don't really care for them from a visibility standpoint. Going down the freeway during the day it is very difficult to tell when he signals a lane change, and I'm looking for it. I can guarantee you the dumbass riding your ass in the Suburban on his cell phone won't see it. It's also less obvious that the flashing light is actually a turn signal, and which direction you are signaling.

I hate the trend on cars doing this because when they pump the brakes and hit their turn signal you cant f*ck tell whats going on!!

I've had integrators for 2001 R6, 2003 R6, 99 ZX7R and I liked all of them, they were LED and very visible even during the day

As far as the FZR from what I've heard the ones you can buy on E-bay are not worth it.

Scroll down a bit and you'll see it.

I run integrated r6 tail lights(clearalternative) in a custom undertail for my airtech r1 tail. I love the look but to be completely honest, its less visible that standard turnsignals.

My gf has been bugging me to swap my stockers back on (have smaller ones from PO) because she says the signals are barely visible on the road. i can't really fault her for wanting me to be safe, and i don't have any particular attachment to the current signals; i'll probably take care of it sometime soon.
