Wanted: clear turn signal lenses 4 stock

[AlanB]

After going back and forth and round and round on flush, stalk, mini stalk, bulb, LED, yada-yada-yada, I've seen some photos of what appear to be stock signals, but with the amber lens replaced with a clear lens and amber bulb. To me, this seems the ideal solution, but I've been searching the net in vain. Can anybody direct me to these? Or to clear aftermarket signals similar to the (DOT approved and highly visible) stock configuration? Thanks.

Ummm. Yes. :Im With Stupid:. Saw a bunch of their stuff, but not for FZ6. Never occured to me to find the manufacturers website. :spank:

Thanks a bunch!

No problem, i just wish someone made a silver 10w bulb (that flashes orange) to replace the orange bulb that is clearly visible through the clear lens

I too would like clear covers. I followed that link but didn't see covers for an 07. Is it something I missed?

'07 signals are exactly the same as all the other years. If they say '04-'06, they'll fit an '07-'09. :thumbup:

is this site just selling the lens or the whole signal thingy?

I have 4 of the clear alternative turn signal cvovers. They do not stay in the 07 housing. They look identical to the amber lens, but the little tab that holds it into place is a hair too short. They thought the first set was defective so they sent a second set. No luck with those either, they just don't fit. I'm sure you can make it work without too much trouble but I'm not going to mess with it.

It better be the whole signal! I ordered based on the website (which does not differentiate model years for the FZ6), which says "Clear Alternatives offers the largest selection of turn signals for both Sport bikes and Cruisers. We offer applications for all bikes including front signals for the Hayabusa, CBR1100XX, Katana's, and even rear turn signals for the ZX-11. All turn signals are direct replacement to stock OEM." Sure sounds like it's the whole signal (and $30 a pair would be awfully steep for two clear pieces of plastic and a couple amber bulbs).

Well, I ordered front and rear with the chrome bulbs yesterday. We'll see.... Should be here by Friday.

The Clear Alternative signals are only the lenses. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that's what I paid for mine as well. If you want I can post some pics.

 

[MarinaFazer]

I'd like pics!

Guess I'll finally have to figure out how to post 'em!

Well, I suppose the good news is that installation will be easier. The bad news is that, based on your experience, they are unlikely to fit. The really maddening news is that makes website is downright fraudulent! Clear lenses do not "turn signals" make.

Stay tuned.

Here are a couple pics. I took a pic of the little tab at the top that is suppose to hold the lens in. As you can see it is just a hair shorter than the original. I really hope that your fit.

 

[AlanB]

Looks like I'll be returning too, if I get the same result.

It looks like the lens and reflector twist out of the housing. Is that right?

There is a screw on the bottom of the housing that holds the lens in. The tab at the top holds the top secure while the screw holds everything together.

ant, probably a dumb question, but I have to ask. After looking at the picture of you holding both lenses and showing that little tab that's shorter on the Clear Alternatives, is it possible to take the lenses off both and basically swap the clear lense onto the stock lense backing? That way, you'd have the clear lenses and the tab would be long enough to hold them in.

Of course, this is a dumb question because you'd probably already thought of that and tried it. But I figured I'd ask.

Have you checked if there's a Stealth Bulb to fit it?

There are some on the "Clear Alternatives" site but there doesn't seem to be any in the UK yet, but sadly shipping costs are too expensive from the USA.
