The bike is still at the mechanic shop for the head rebuild, VERY slow going. Over all not very happy with the progress.
Since the bike is away, I am accumulating parts to install on the bike once I get it back.

Don't use the yellow bulbs it will look like you are riding round with two fried eggs screwed to the front! I have a spare pair of silver bulbs that blink yellow if you want them. Will take weeks to get to you from the uk though! I went with some super bright led ones (did need a new led indicator relay but that's about 10 bucks on ebay)
I had a set of these from ebay, they are superbright.
Item #: 230937201090
Let me know if you want my silver bulbs!
Is that hugger for the mod? Or did you find something that will bolt straight on?
I recall Leon getting those clear indicator lenses, they look cool, IIRC they came from Germany, do you have a link?
Also, be careful on your tank bra, if you get any dust or grime under it you will scratch your clear coat, a lesson I learned many years ago on my '84'
Cheers!

New Amber LED bulbs are in the photo next to the 18t sprocket, Thank you for the offer of getting a set.
I have already done the GSXR real wheel mod. The Hugger is from a 92 GSXR1100. Should be a fairly simple install. I have 4 aluminum 'L' brackets made that will be bolted to the swing arm to mount it.
Pat, My tank has a fairly large paint scrape on the right side knee area. That is the main reason I went with the color matched tank bra. I have stomp grips covering the scrape now and even though they work ok, I am not inpressed with the over all look with the stomp grips.
Here is the link for the 88-90 clear front turn signals.

Fred parts look good, I like the turn signal lenses, clear will look good on your bike. I saw smoked ones some time back on another FJ and would like those for mine. Hope they get your bike done soon.

Thanks for the link Fred. I looked around their website but could not find any clear lenses for my '92, sigh.
Hope you get everything together soon...spring has sprung.

Pat here are a couple of links for 91-93 models, Smoked and Clear.
They are a bit pricey.

That link to the website is the only source I know of that offers the clear lenses for the 88-90 models.
