Episode 20: Upgrading the Inazuma 1200 to Yamaha’s quality turn signals. Wise Gear Q5K-YSG-003-005

So subtle that nobody notices it…

These days it’s nostalgic—a nice piece with a polished aluminum body finish.

Big! Metal feel! Spherical! Maybe it’ll make a comeback.

This aluminum body for ¥6,200 (before tax) (*´з`)

The rare aluminum body (original) is nice.

Everywhere you look these days it’s all plastic bodies.
Complex shapes are possible, so that’s good, but metal texture really is something special.

Plus it’s OEM, so the price is reasonable too.

Clear lenses are a bit much for an old guy like me…

It does feel a bit young for me.
More orange than yellow? The color has character and looks good.

Plus the larger lens improves visibility, which is good.

Maybe we could go LED for the bulb?

The character of the bulb is really nice too. ♪
And glass lenses, which were popular way back when, might actually skyrocket in price down the road?
Though I guess nobody knows about glass lenses anymore…

It’s a rare M12-P1.5, so magnification is essential. ( ;∀;)

M12? Seriously… Haven’t seen that in a while…
We need to upsize the front bracket, rear turn signal plastic collar, and back washer all to M12. It’s a bit of work…

Suzuki uses 040-spec turn signals, so we’ll standardize.

Keeping it as close to original as possible is convenient.
Since we’re only modifying the turn signal side, ordering is a hassle, but let’s do it right.

Gray and black —get both.

The position lamp becomes unnecessary.

We could modify it to work, but we don’t really need it, so we’ll turn it off.
It’s a good idea to label any leftovers with P-TOUCH so it’s easy to identify next time.

The rear won’t reach, so we’ll extend the wiring. ( *´艸`)

Probably nobody will notice unless we tell them. (*’▽’)

Well, we’re probably doing something unpopular again.
