Well I installed a turn signal canceller on my new FZ1.
I've gotten so used to the fabulous turn signals on my harley, that are truly "fire and forget" that there's no way I'll be able to go from bike to bike and not leave my signals on all the time on my FZ1 (as folks in Kerrville will attest) so I dropped for a Kisan signal minder.
It's a breeze to install, under an hour with zero wire cutting and so far I like it.
It has a selectable timer for turn signals, 8, 12 or 20 seconds, it suspends the timer if the brake is held, and it adds both hazard flashers, cop flashers (alternating hazard) and can make the rear turn signals running lights with two brightness levels.
It also has lane change mode that you just hold the switch while changing lanes and the timer is not engaged.
It also has plug ins for optional LED arrays that can go on mirrors or on the tail for brake/turn/hazard as well.
Nice little unit even if it is overpriced a bit. It also comes with springs to convert the yamaha turn signal switch to a momentary contact type switch.
I may at some point buy a harley signal unit and wire it in, it has lean angle sensors, speed sensors etc. so it would be tougher to wire in, but probably worth it. The trouble is the harley unit is made to run from two momentary contact switches, one on each handlebar, with functions that require both to be pressed together, and the FZ has a single switch on the left control side.
