I have a US bike, but replaced the original US turned signals with European turn signals ( smaller and MUCH better looking), but I don't find them very bright. So I wanted to upgrade to LED. Concerning the flashing rate, the swap did increase the flashing rate, but being a non issue with the law...

I would like to replace the original turn signal bulbs with improve LED visibility. Is it possible? I removed the original bulbs, but is there a standard size to which I can order some LED, if again, I can gain in illumination (visibility). I am talking about the original European turn signals.

I have had mine setup directly to the battery with no issue, as long as you don't let your GPS on your bike for hours while parked, but a thief will make sure to dismount your GPS and save your battery :o Here is how I mount it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4uXjfO60WM

Good try, but this one will not do ...... I need 4 wheels :D

what kind of frame do I need to put on my MT to fully protect it from a fall?

Good choice on the case. I find mine extremely practical. So much can be carried in the 40 lt case, its amazing, even so its mounted so far behind the bike, I don't find it to kill too much the look of the MT, but you know what they say about tastes and colors, each his own :)

A very simple mod to replace that piece of sh*t they call a horn :mad: I don't understand why ALL bike manufacturers only give us a cheap excuse for a horn. One of the most important safety item on a bike. Anyway, here is how to easily replace the horn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbxtIkXm4Qo

This my Long Term Review of the MT-07 / FZ-07. If you can think of anything else to add to my review, please post a comment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EieNCkzP08

It really depends on your size and helmet shake you can take. I am 5'6, have an Ermax windshield of 39cm and have no issue with extended time at 75mph.

The 40L Shad case has room for a full face helmet and some stuff.

I received my rear rack and the Shad 40L top case I ordered few days ago. It was a PITA to install the rack. Yamaha engineering is terrible. I managed to cut the holes on each side of the bike, with some little scratches on the plastic. It would have been nice for Yamaha to include some pre-cut...

I put my Drift on my helmet. There is always room for a camera on the helmet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAbRVIN9Ip4

The ermax screen does rub against the brake cable, but its an easy fix.

That's the way to go. Don't bother with the more expensive motorcycle specific GPS, unless you do some serious adventure touring and need a GPS for off road as well. The Garmin Nuvi serie, and I think the newest one is the Nuvi 55Lm (Amazon.com: Garmin nüvi 55LM GPS Navigators System with Spoken...

Mine is pretty accurate. At a study, flat stretch of road with 70mph on the dash, the GPS showed 68/69mph.

I find the shifting on the MT to be very rough. Every time I shift, up or down, to have a very definite CLUNK. Most of other bikes I have owned, if memory serve me well, have been a lot smoother. What's your impression?

If there is one thing I can't stand with the MT07 is its plastic gas tank. It is my first bike with a plastic tank and I find it unpractical at best. I try to carry over my gears from one bike to the next, and of course, my magnet tank bag will not work. So I purchased a new tank bag, the...

You got my attention on the noise issue, it could indeed be needed.

Not mine neither, but I am keeping an eye on it.

certainly TWAT. Even my 13 years old daughter knows that "loud pipes are for riders with a complex". I did brain wash her on this one since she was 5 years old. I LOVE brain washing :) But as a respectable biker, you shouldn't rely on noise to make your self safe. Instead, you should see...
