Kawasaki Z800 integrated tail light with indicators

[Nicko105]

Hi,
Any advice on a good tail light with integrated indicators. Or change indicators for led and I assume you have to replace the flasher can for an led one.
Need help and advice on which ones and advice.
Thanks

If you intend to pass MOTs, don’t bother with integrated signals.

You can swap the stock signals for LEDs but you’ll either need to wire in a resistor in parallel to each signal to draw equivalent load to a standard bulb, or swap the flasher unit for an electronic one.

Thanks that’s great advice. So I will go with led indicators and update the flasher? Which one for my bike does anyone recommend and which indicators?
Thanks

Take off the stock ones and measure the holes left behind. Some of the aftermarkets come with 6 or 8mm bolts, some come with 10mm. Pretty much none of them will come with stock wiring connectors, so you'll either need to solder directly to the bike's wiring, or cut off the connectors from the stock signals and solder them onto the aftermarket ones (the route I always take). You may need some adapters if you want to make it look stock as the stock flashers will often have two bolts holding them in place, but the small aftermarkets will just have one.

The flasher unit is usually "plug and play", but a service manual will help you figure out what bits of the bike need to be taken off first (if any).
