2bros and bright turn indicators?

[CHEMIKER]

What do you all do for turn indicators with 2bros exhaust? I put on the aftermarket indicators that came with the exhaust, but the bulbs kept blowing (they are very cheaply made), so I replaced them with Cycle Gear LED indicators I found. I'm not 100% happy with these either because they're not very bright. Has anyone found:

a) a way to mount stock indicators with 2bros exhaust?
b) bright LED indicators that work with the 2bros fender eliminator?
c) any other solution for 2bros?

The turn signals from 2bros are total crap...

Honestly, I really like the stock signals from my Triumph. Good quality signals, reasonable size and design. I'd call up the local triumph dealer and grab those! They're not LED, but plenty bright.

I think mrphotoman answered my question already:

Anyone else have good suggestions?

they are really bright, i will take another video with the camera instead of the cell phone so you can see.

Thanks! I only opened your thread after I posted this and noticed that you had done exactly what I'm looking to do. What timing!

I didn't even install mine. I purchased a DOT approved integrated tail light. Flashes 3 times when I hit the brake then goes solid. Great for safety.

Would that be the Motodynamics taillight?

I went with plan A. I made a bracket to accommodate both the stock signal and tail light as well as the reflectors. I’m not sure about regulations elsewhere, but here, the turn signals must be a certain distance apart and the bike must have side reflectors.



If you don’t live far from Jerry and am interested in this solution, I can send him the DXF of the custom FE and I’m sure his CNC machine has enough table travel to cut this piece out.

Yup! I love it! Looks so nice

Are the integrated turn signals as visible from the side as the stock signals?

This is where I bought mine from. The video shows what it looks like when used (from the ebay seller). I don't think you can see my stock blinkers from the side. I kept the stock front lights.

Check out Oxford Turn signals. The Road legal one's are just as bright as the stock light's on the FZ6.

I installed integrated tail light, works great, cops have no issue with it and it looks nice and clean.

I retained the stock fender and turnsignals with mine. I'll try to post a pic later - it involved a super simple bracket with 2 holes and two little nuts/bolts.

Here's mine, cheap e-Bay LEDs. They have 18 LEDs each, and are plenty bright. Easy install with the 2-Bros.

Just FYI, you blocked your tag number from the front, but you can read it from the back view.

I used the stock turn signals with my 2 bros install.

I thought only spies could read backwards...
