Put 306 miles on her since I got it last Friday ( July 3rd). Today I added some TST clear front turn signals ( also got the wires and relay ), and the Yamaha rear seat cowl, to go with the Vegabond FE. Waiting on more stuff to arrive. :D

Looks great man. The flush mounts really look good. I hate the oversized OEM signals. I would also like to get a cowl for my bike as well. Again, looks great.

That cowl really cleans up the rear.

Looks great! So the new relay powers the OEM incandescent rear turn signals and the new LED front turn signals OK?

Thanks!

Yup. Everything works, and flashes at the same speed.

Is the rear cowl any lighter than the stock rear seat?

Passenger seat weighs 2.2 lbs./1 kg

Rear seat cowl (Yamaha OEM) weighs 1.8 lbs./.8 kg

So, .4 lb /.2 kg weight savings w/cowl

That really cleans up the bike, if you look really close, does the cowl match the rest of the bike perfectly and is it solid when installed? My ZX10R OEM cowl had to be modified to fit solid, or else it had way too much play/slop.

Color match is spot on. The fitment is also perfect around the sides as well. I got it from the dealer as part of the deal I made when buying the bike.

How would you say the visibility is for cars on the other side of the road? Just ordered my R3 with flush mounted and I'm a little worried about cagers being able to actually see them.

Good question. It looks nice. If you get the new relay you can control how fast/slow it blinks. Which I think it would help if it were a problem. I'll have my buddy ride my bike and see how it looks when driving towards him.
