awesome cheap mod

Stedman8 · « **Reply #51 on:** 16 January 2013, 07:54:33 pm »

I'm goin to be doing this as well

soon be able to tell the foccers by the colour of their clocks ! I suppose it will be easier with the fairing off, so I'll probably do it when I get the fairing painted in a few weeks.

Did this recently, great little upgrade. Used white leds from ebay - actually they were the version with 3x SMDs per bulb. Brightened up the clocks nicely.

In an effort to prevent fogging, I smeared fairy liquid onto the inside of the clocks lenses before leaving them to dry for a bit and buffing them up. I also stuck one of those oxygen absorber packet thingies in there. Fogging has not been back since.

That's actually a good idea - the moisture absorber things

You could easily hide several of those behind the clocks and never know they are there.

@Stedman8 - How much is the cost of having your fairing painted? Just curious as this may be something I'll investigate

The guy I'm going to is putting a black with gold flecks stripe on the tank continuing to the fairing and the grab rail as well for £110 and I'm going to see if will do the middle of the rear fairing if you know what I mean - its not a full repaint but if you wanted the full fairing painted I cant see it being too much different possibly a bit cheaper- I'll put some pics up when I've had it done sometime late Feb early march.

Blue LEDs in - much brighter than standard.

I did mine spoon, but they're no where near as bright as yours. Where did you get the LEDs?

xlewisbdx · « **Reply #62 on:** 21 January 2013, 06:01:42 pm »

Does anybody know what LED's I need to change the indicators from Orange to Red?

Dead Eye · « **Reply #63 on:** 21 January 2013, 06:08:29 pm »

Are you talking about the indicator icon on the dash or the actual indicators on the side of the bike?

Pretty sure you aren't allowed to change the ones on the side of the bike (the colour that is)

xlewisbdx · « **Reply #64 on:** 21 January 2013, 06:14:56 pm »

My apologies, I meant the ones on the dash

Dead Eye · « **Reply #65 on:** 21 January 2013, 07:52:42 pm »

Same bulbs as listed earlier in this article and above

Stedman8 · « **Reply #68 on:** 24 January 2013, 08:15:47 pm »

Did my clocks today ( cheers to dead-eye for his run-through ) took me a bit more than 25 mins though, but to be fair I did end up in the dark holding a torch in me mouth, as usual ( but enough of my private life

) they are a nice little mod and bright enough to do the job.

Dead Eye · « **Reply #69 on:** 24 January 2013, 08:53:13 pm »

I've got another set on order as I picked up my new Fazer today. I'll time myself this time round haha :P

xlewisbdx · « **Reply #70 on:** 26 January 2013, 02:48:43 pm »

Thank you for the detailed instructions, I changed mine today to blue. I'll be changing the indicator ones soon to red.

I'll get you a picture when it's dark :P

darrsi · « **Reply #71 on:** 26 January 2013, 03:53:07 pm »

@Lewis, next time you're out and about see how many red indicators you can spot?

xlewisbdx · « **Reply #72 on:** 26 January 2013, 04:56:38 pm »
