Why in U.S the turn signals are not in firerings, but out side. ex: zx-10r, zx-6r ect.? Is this a question of law. Looks not good.

 

[Wedge]

Yep, the signals have to be further apart than placing them integral to the fairings allows. Thats why they are all on stocks to extend them out. All it takes is a trip to a bike shop to get some flushmounts/short stalks to make the bike look a lot better though.

 

[VFRDave]

my 91 vfr has the front signals integrated into the fairing.

 

[Kzin]

As my ZX6E and all ZX11's and the ZZR1200 do :nanana

 

[Wedge]

and the kanatuna, but you also notice that the fairings are a bit on the wide side compared to some of the slimmer bikes out there.

firerings? what's a firering? does my bike have a firering and will it melt anything :nanana

They're farther apart here for the dumbasses who don't see them. It doesn't help :shrug.

yep... this is true but I still prefer to be seen though... I put on new fairings and undertail on my SV and noticed most prefer to add those flush mount signals that are only visible from a very narrow angle of view and most not very bright so I opted to go witha bubble type sginals on front and then I got some nice short stalks for the rear that were about as bright as OEM or better.... I figured it was a good trade off as they nice looking and still very visible from many angles. :clap

 

[ZXLNT]

Simply a matter of styling.

leave him alone, he's not from 'round here. :laughing

As said before, they have to be a certain distance apart. Older bikes (ZX-11, ZX-10, Katana, CBF600F2 for example) were wider. Also some states here dont require signals at all. Some do. You have to check the local laws though.

yeah, I'll be doing similar mods on my SV and I plan on keeping the signals on stalks. :thumb

some are in the mirrors(blackbird).
mostly it is just the stupid govt interfering.

Yeah, no kidding. Virginia doesn't require them, but if you have them then they must be at least 9" apart and measure up at least 20" from the pavement.

 

[SV DAVE]

Georgia doesn't require turn signals but if you have them they must work. I have flush mounts all the way around my SV.

 

[Smitty]

I leave my signal lights STOCK as I want people behind me to know when I am turning left or right.

 

[Yamerhaw]

i dont have any at all, i just use hand signals

 

[Smitty]

One problem is if some twit driving a cage taps you at a stop sign it can send you on your ear so darn quickly. Reason I leave my signal lights stock & tend to flat the taillamp when at a stop sign.

Have a '91 Mazda 4X4 truck in white yet tail gate is with diagonal 2.75" florescent strips from left to right ---- it does help.

Wont help here in Madison Smitty.:laughing. Someone hit a BRIGHT YELLOW BUS 2 weeks ago.:laughing :laughing

 

[MSchuerhoff]

I got some short stalks from cycle gear awhile back, and they're actually as bright(if not just slightly brighter) than stock. They were called dinkywinkaz or something(british company i think). They cleaned up the bike a whole lot.
