seans Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hello everyone, I am from North American and just purchased a new FZ. Call me weird, but I actually really like the look of the European signal lights with the clear lens and amber turn signal bulb. I like the idea of stock fitment as well. The amber-colored ones that come on stock bikes in North America look pretty terrible, IMHO. I've looked, but can't find those anywhere. Could anyone direct me to where I might find them, or have new, unmolested take-off ones I could purchase? Also, if I could just get the clear lens covers, they would just pop on to my existing ones. I'm sure I could find the proper, amber bulb here somehow. Thanks for your help! Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b00f Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I am in Australia, and I priced them up for another member. We are talkign the clear lenses yes? eg. I was thinking of getting a few sets, and shipping them over for you guys. If someone wants to trade a set for clears I am also open to that I priced them at roughly 12AUD each, plus shipping.

seans Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Those are the ones!! I think it would probably cost a bunch to ship them back and forth. 12AUD for a set (i.e., 24 AUD for everything)? Thanks a bunch, Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hobbs Posted February 13, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted February 13, 2015 I'd be interested in a set of the clear lenses. Of course it would need to be beneficial for both parties. Hopefully it can be worked out where it's not crazy expensive and the US members could kick a few bucks in for the favor. Everything went braap.

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted February 13, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2015 Just an FYI, the non-North American units are smaller than ours so it is not just a lens swap. You have to switch out the whole unit. @Guru did it to his bike and has a good how-to that he wrote up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seans Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Ah - didn't realize that is would be this complicated. I thought it would just be a lens/bulb swap, or, at worst - having to buy the entire assembly and then just plug and play. Perhaps I'll just leave them be for the time being.

onuro Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm from Turkey and I can send you guys in bulk (no idea on the pricing yet though-but shouldn't be an unacceptable rate). We all have Euro signals. Just let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Burtacus Posted June 21, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 21, 2016 Thanks Sorkyah. What's the extra plastic looking thing on the headlight photo? It intrigues me as I mounted a thin piece of metal with holes, shaped like a U, and connected it to the side screws, then put a gopro centered on it. Can't do that now with my shield. Just curious if that thing would enable that. There's just no great place to mount a gopro on these bikes and accomplish a great stable video too.

Premium Member Burtacus Posted June 21, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 21, 2016 Oh, also, are there any clear lenses for the stock signals? That would be an easy route for me as I don't have a problem with the size of the stock signals. Peace.. ----- I.AM. ----- -Burtacus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Burtacus Posted June 22, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 22, 2016 Really? You can do that? I have this incredible idea for a front mount go pro which could also include one of those phantom DJI drone type gimbles to make the video perfect.
