Has anybody on the forum installed this self-cancelling indicator system?
The appeal is that this device will turn off the indicators after you make a turn or lane change, or 15-20 seconds if you don’t turn. So no more constant blinking if you forget to cancel them!
I already bought one, two actually. A friend installed one on his FJR about a year ago and then posted good instructions. I was just hoping someone here might already have done that with their FZ6.
The manufacturer web page has absolutely no info on installation. Very frustrating. Several pages I found say the installation is simple but one step, modification of the signal switch, is twitchy. The manufacturer sends a set of foam disks that are supposed to help reset the indicator switch after each press, but the spacing is critical and most folks take quite a while to find the correct amount of foam.
The cost isn’t extravagant. The list price is down to $179 but if you use their “will this fit my bike” button, they will send you a discount code/link for $70 off.
Norm Kern’s instructions for the FJR. They’re in Facebook. You will need to open the first photo then read the text/comments on each one.
For mounting the device:

For the electrical connections:

For the switch modification – he twisted a paperclip into a spring.

Might anybody on here [MENTION=2579]Motogiro[/MENTION] know how I can get my hands on a set of Sumitomo sealed 13-pin connectors so I can make the fancy harness that Norm wanted to do? I’ll also be wanting a set of connectors like whatever is used in that spot on the FZ6.
I’ll have to save this project for later this winter. It’s 60 here today. Gotta get out riding.
