Hey guys, I'm looking for flushmounts that will fit in my stock stalk holes for the front turn signals. Any ideas would help.

Also, do the R6 or R1 flushmounts work?

Id like to know about this also, I already had one stupid fat lady hit my bike with her shopping cart and broke one of my signals, I dont want it to happen again!

Watsen designs!! http://www.watsendesign.com/index.html

Perfect fit and easy to install. No cutting or modding, other than doing some re-wiring depending on how you want them set up (Marker lights/Signals or No Marker lights/Signals)

Cost: $135.00 CDN shipped. They can also be found sometimes on eBay.

NOTE: Watsen's are NOT DOT approved! So they are technically 'illegal' in the eyes of the law.

Here is a link to my site that shows installation and all the various wiring diagrams you may need: http://www.members.shaw.ca/fazed/led blinkers.htm

+1 on the Watsens... Very nice product, much brighter than stock, look awesome. They will also custom paint match to your colour.

You have to cut the stock signals if you want to use the harness as the singlas come with bare wires... I cut mine.

Thanks for the help guys but I was still wondering if the 06 R6 flushmounts by any company will fit in the holes.

Same hole as the R6. Yes.

Would a realy and resistors still be required with the R6 flushies? I read before that you need a realy with the watsens in order for them to dual as running lights.

There are a lot of aftermarket flushies. With the Watsens, yes, you need a relay for them to blink "off" when they're on all the time. Follow the instructions that comes with the lights that you buy.

Do you know any flushie brands that do not require a relay and resistors?

Do you want us to come over and install it for you too?? :rolleyes

Most aftermarket lighting, especially LED ones, are going to require a little re-wiring of your own. It's usually pretty straight forward and simple to do and is nothing to be scared of. Wiring instructions and how to's can be found on here.

I'm not scared of wiring at all. I just thought that if there was another option out there that did not require the relay then I would take a look at it. Another point is; less parts, less chance for failure.

they need to be the "three" wire design, then they will work fine as a replacement for the stock signals. If they are LED lights they will all require a resistor due to the lack of energy they use. They fool the Yamaha relay into thinking it has a burnt out bulb, hence the fast blink rate. If you can live with the blink rate then no problem.
