Replacing Rear Signal Lights

[bd43]

I know, I’m anal retentive, but a part of me likes to keep the FZ6 wiring intact as much as possible.

Some of us have already done this, replacing the rear signal lights with aftermarket LED’s or say ones that come with the Two Bro exhaust system. For those replacement signals that don’t come with the proper Yamaha “plug ‘n play connector”, Lockhart Phillips has made an adapter cable that goes from the Yamaha connector to some bullet connectors, a readily available connector at your local store, or just cut them off and solder directly to them. The best thing about this is if you ever want to put the old signals back on, you just disconnect one and plug in the other.

Dual filament harness, P.N. 122-9655 (can be used on front or rear signals)
Single filament harness, P.N. 122-9654 (used for rear signals only)

thanks for the information,,,the only bad thing is ,its just a little bit too late for those who already have butchered the original signal cables to install the aftermarket ones ,like myself

i will use these on my next FZ6,,orr i might follow the tradition and get an R1 instead

Thanks again. That is exactly what I was hoping for! I too was not too excited about splicing and soldering the after-market LED signals. The adapter is a saver. Cheers.

I bought mine with a fender eliminator kit already set up, I wanted rear turn signals so I bought the y yamaha adapter along with a bracket and the led turn signals from motrax (sp) .. I did the bullet conector thing as well

+1 for saving the bikes wiring

I have heard of other people moving from the fz to the R1...

Whats up with that? I understand that the r1 is a bad boy but this seems very common for fz folk

Anyone here have a link to an online retailer that carries the rear signal wire adapters (Single filament harness, P.N. 122-9654) ?

Funny, I just bought the adapters from Lockhart P that said "suzuki", but they work exactly the same. Used them on the front surface mount Lockhart P three wire signals(lower fairings), so all of it was just "plug n play"! Glad somebody else noticed them too.

Thanks! I didn't know that these adaptor harness were available when I installed my FE kit and LED rear flashers. I did, however, make up an identical adaptor myself (talk about "parallel development"). What the kit would have saved, however, was me having to cut off the OEM connectors from the OEM rear flashers to make up the adaptor harness.

Where can we get these? I can't find any online.

Just google "lockhart phillips". When I did I saw them here....

I was this close to ordering them from these guys and figured why not ask around town here at one of the dealers. One finally answered by saying they could get them in from their distributor for $6.29 CDN and I said order it. I had it in 2 days, can't beat that.

The internet ordering is too darn convenient and every once in a while I gotta step away from the mouse. Ordering locally from a dealer saved me some time and money.

You could call around to some MC shops first before you order. I was acutally surprised they actually carried Lockhart Phillips stuff.
