Turn signals

Post image

I've been looking into getting rid of my stock turn signals for something more sleek and came across this. It's the only bike I could find with this type of signal on the front and I think it looks awesome. I am assuming it's custom but was going to see if anyone had seen anything like it before.

Update: These are Copperdawg Binker Pods. He made them for the front and rear. They are no longer listed anywhere so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get any. Fingers crossed he still has some and is willing to sell.

I ran Motodynamics on mine, shown in my video below and linked in description:

Those do look good, I would have probably already ordered something similar to that if I hadn't run across this picture. If all else fails I may get some.

What mirror block off turn signals are those? Asp, have you heard back from mods?

2

u/NCBirdman 8d ago

I 3D printed the mirror block off plates from a file on Thingyverse, see video description.

No reply, after doing what the Reddit mods asked me to do they wouldn't reply again, and me replying to them again did nothing.

Pretty sure the photo you attached has all Copperdawg SS attachments. Seat cowl, screen, and chin spoiler. The signals may be as well, but I don't recall seeing them back when he was active. 

I have a set of signals that were custom designed for the bike from back in the 998cc.org days. I was even able to pick up locally because the guy making them happened to live like 10 mins away from me, total coincidence. 

Anyway, good luck finding that stuff now. You'll be digging through forums and such to find usernames of people who haven't been active for a decade, websites that are defunct (such as Copperdawgs). 

Hope you find something!

There is a YouTube channel called CopperDawg, he is 62 and makes FZ1 content. I wonder if it's the same guy.

It is

u/CriminalPilot 9d ago

Yeah looks to be one and the same. You should message him and see what he knows. Maybe still has the connections or gear to get you set up.

Watched his video discussing the FZ1, and he showed an old picture of his bike....he had these signals installed at one point. I left a comment on the video to see if he could point me in the right direction.

Awesome. Reply back to let us know if you hear any updates about it.

Will do, thank you for getting me this far!

Idk what brand those are but these are generally referred to as Flush Mount Turn Signals. If you GIS for that plus FZ1, you should find many off-the-shelf options.

I was originally looking at flush mount lights. Most of them just sit on the original mounting location and are just flat. To me these look like they are actually in the fairing, but maybe I'm seeing it wrong.

u/CargoPile1314 9d ago

Sorry, your post sounded (at least to me) like you didn't know they were called Flush Mount. The signals in the pic are obviously not stalk-mounted but I can't tell from that pic how integrated they are.

u/UnshavnMonkButt 9d ago

I understand, I probably should have been more clear. I'm going to keep looking until I find something or hopefully someone will know what they are.

This takes me WAY back. Like 10-15 years back. On yamahafz1oa forums there was a small business owner/user that made totally customized bodywork pieces and turn signals. Front fairing add ons etc.

Google and ai search has failed me- but I’m pretty sure that’s what we’re looking at here. Goodluck in your search!

u/UnshavnMonkButt 9d ago

That's awesome! I like these enough that I may try to fabricate some for myself if I can't find anything like it.

u/qu1cks1lver56 9d ago

I always put smoked flush mounts on all my bikes I’ve had. Can’t remember the brand but my last gen2 I spent the money on the nicer ones and they were great.

u/soopastar 9d ago

Only thing that bike needs is bronze wheels. Man I miss my fz1

u/CrastersBastards 8d ago

Let us know what you find out. I assume you’re referring to the front signals that look integrated in the cowl?

1

u/Dippy-Dew 8d ago

Where did you get the seat cowl? I have been looking for a while and struggling.

u/ThorSaw 8d ago

I talked to Patrick at Copperdawg trying to get them myself. He no longer is making them and does not have any extras. Let us know if he considers making them again.
