I was surprised that my GT is off significantly as compared to my Montana 650 GPS. As much as 8 or 9 km at highway speed. I'm working with 12 o'clock labs to see if their speedo corrector will work with this bike. I'll post results.

This is very interesting. I'm wondering if the same can be accomplished at the rear. I'm trying to come up with a solution for the GT that will allow for a clean tail tidy but keep the signals visible with the factory cases on. My current plan is to sort out a flush mounted signal on the outside of the case where the ugly factory reflector is and use a mag connect to run power to it. Two conductor mag connect is pretty common. Givi uses them. Three conductor or more are harder to come by. I'm curious if your results are a function on the lights you installed or something that could be replicated with other lights as well. Might be time for some experimentation.

Just finished my install on my Tracer GT. I don’t believe there are any relevant differences that would effect your install. I used one of the accessory circuits in the front cluster area as the trigger since I had to run wiring tobthat area for the GPS and Heatroller. Youll want to pull the tank to get the wiring to and from the front. Easiest with an empty tank and 2 people. Don’t forget to install a fuse on the main input wire to the FZ1. This is to protect the foot or so of wire. Without it, a pinch or cut can cause an arc. You can get a convenient power and ground connection under that translucent cap just next to the fuse I installed so you don't have to complicate your battery connections.

Not sure if they're priced any more attractively than the PIAA, but Denali has something that looks like it might work well. Available from site sponsor Twisted Throttle. https://denalielectronics.com/collections/led-drl-backup-lights/products/dnl-drl-10000-a

These ones are at the top of my list. Fully programmable and 3 lens options. They have adapters and harnesses too. http://shop.12oclocklabs.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=38&product_id=150 I've used their products on other bikes with success. Not the cheapest option out there, but these guys really know their stuff.

I went through the same process. As a fellow Canadian, I think black is the right choice. I'd rather be warm than cold is one reason. The other is trying to stay clean. Almost every rider I see with light or bright colours are grimy looking. Black won't be any cleaner, but it makes the dirt invisible. We find the same with our snowmobile gear. I agree that visibility is the trade off, but that can be addressed with lighting on your bike if that is a concern.
