Can anyone vouch for the 12oclock labs turn signals? About to pull the trigger on these and would like to know if they are actually as bright as they say.

12oclock Labs Programmable Turn Signals

 

If anything they're brighter than the OEM blinkers.  I don't think you'll be disappointed.

My wife asked me to run to the grocery store for some cheese, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, and green peppers. Being the dutiful spouse I am always happy to oblige. And since the Day Rides forum has been so dead lately I thought I'd snap a couple of photos on my way to the store. Here you go:

 

Nothing beats a ride to the coast!

Assume this is the kit I need? Looks like an awesome system and I am quite interested, didn't see a GT version but assume the Tracer kit will work fine?

Yup, Yamaha uses the same connector on all their bikes.

I bought some mounts that clamp to the fork legs and mounts lights to them. 

Trouble with that system is the lights then point to the outside of a turn, rather than the inside where you need it.

Post pics from the ride guys!

I'm not gonna make it, gotta work.  Have fun guys!

I fitted doubletake mirrors to my GT,

Took ages to get in the UK but well worth it,

would love to add a photo but the site always says the file is to large!

 

 

I keep looking at those. Let us know what you think!

I have kinda given up on this LED turn signal quest. I have ordered 3 sets and they are all crap. Hard to find one with the running light for the front that isn't Chinese crap. The search continues. I will keep my TST relay, signal adapters and wire adapters in hopes I will find something decent. But for now I will wait. 

12oclocklabs.  Plenty bright, retains running lights if you want.  They're not Rizomas, but certainly not cheap crap either.

Also L4&5 but slipped laterally and terrible stenosis and dreadful sciatica.  I have to mount and dismount the FJ using the side stand, and know it will fail under my girth.  Plan is to cut away bone around the nerves (decompression), replace discs with spacers and screw in stabilizing hardware so the joints fuse together.

They are debating what to do with my C5&6.  May have my right rotator cuff done too but after my experience with the left, I've put it off for 10 years.  But I also now have 10 years of scar tissue and it really aches as I type this...then there's my right tennis elbow complicated by a floating bone chip, and soft tissue damage in both hands and wrists...never let your kids or grand kids take up Judo and Aikido...

Lumbar fusion? You have my sympathies.

Aerostich makes functional and durable kit, but I just can't get past the "homemade from a potato sack" look.  Call me shallow.

Can you post a link to the relay that you bought from Amazon please?

I have the 12oclocklabs signals and they're great. I found that they didn't play nice with the adjustable TST relay though - flash rate was wildly inconsistent.  I went with a normal LED friendly relay from Amazon and all was well.

In this video you can see the cornering lights come on a couple times.

 

What I'm not seeing is the front turn signals on as DRLs.  Is that still required in the US? If so we may be getting pumpkins again.

Looks like they also replaced the tiny sport bike pegs with the same ones that come on the Niken.

But still with those damn mirrors that won't stay in place.

I quite like it (except for the new panniers, they look like it got rear ended).  That's a big jump in price though.  And the US doesn't get the best color.

Enough with the blurple already. 

I looked at my bike and thought "Wow, it's really dirty.  I should wash it." Then I remembered it's 38 degrees and raining so I went back in where it's warm and ordered a couple farkles.

This may be a dumb question, but if I want daytime running lights that are on all the time (when the bike is on), can I just connect them to the switched spare port behind the dash and not use a switch/relay/fuse?

I'm a definite maybe.  See See would be a logical spot and they have plenty of outdoor seating and parking.

I think the Puig is the best looking of the beaks available, but $150 USD for a little piece of plastic is crazy talk.

Mother in law lives on Vashon.  I love that place!

IME all aftermarket exhausts do on modern bikes is make them run worse and annoy your neighbors.  YMMV of course.

I don’t think the spy shot Tracer looks too bad. The new MT on the other hand, that thing is hideous.
