Ordered my led's and hope to be doing the mod at the weekend. Advice please! Clock currently steams a little once warmed up - is there a sealant I can use prevent this once I've finished, or is that just going to create more issues down the line? What about greasing around the seals? (haven't investigated the clocks yet...)

Thanks

[Exupnut]

Brilliant post. Gonna do this on my blue fazer thou. D'ya think the bulbs r the same?

[stevierst]

Did a similar thing to both my old R1 streetfighter, and my old Fazer 600 using stick on led strips and tedious soldering pretty much before these bulbs were available.
This way looks a hell of a lot easier and more efficient! 8)  Might  have a go at my FZ1 clocks now........

I'd guess the seals are probably fine just try to reassemble the clocks in a dry environment to reduce the humidity that gets locked inside.

Thanks Rob - I'll maybe take the clock itself inside and run wifeys hairdyer over it before re-assembly...

careful with the hairspray, seriously though be careful not to cook it

I have been wanting to this for a long time and your instruction make it look easy!

Can anyone point me in the right direction for blue lights for the dash??


EDIT: I am presuming you can change the colour of the Neutral light and indicators aswell?

I just copied the description from the earlier posts and searched on e-bay, loads of places there sell them.

Cheers, I'll take a look!

I did this too, although I went for white bulbs behind the clocks to brighten it up rather than change the colour.


I'm guessing I got cheap bulbs as they all stopped working within a month and I had to go back to the original bulbs.  :'(

[Disky]

awesome cheap mod

[Stedman8]

I'm goin to be doing this as well  :lol 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.

[Dead Eye]

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

[Stedman8]

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.

Thanks for the tip! Think I'll do just that if I can find what I did with thos elittle packet thingies...

Blue LEDs in - much brighter than standard.

[Fazer to stun]

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