Lose The Ugly Signals – Denali T3 Switchback Signal Pods Are Here to Help

Ever Owned a Yamaha With Those Gigantic Stock Turn Signals? I’m Sorry.

My 2015 FJ09 has such ugly turn signals I honestly get embarrassed when other bike guys check out my ride. They’ve bugged me since the day I bought the bike, but it’s just such an out-of-the-way mod to spend a day figuring out and a lack of quality product options to choose from so they’ve sat there ever since.

This is one of those products I think I might actually buy right after writing the article. Denali now has their T3 Switchback Turn Signals (front and back) available for pre-order.

What is a switchback turn signal you might ask? The pods will illuminate either white or red (depending on if they’re rear or front) up until you turn on your signal, where the high powered LED’s switch to a bright yellow blink to indicate a lane change or turn. This is an awesome feature for your bike to keep it looking clean while maintaining proper safety (also, cya giant 27/4 yellow Yamaha bulb things).

 

I’m not sure if the product photos do them justice because these things are REALLY bright. Whether you want to mount them to your plate or under your seat, the best part about this kit is the modular design of the signals allows for placement anywhere. Their website showcases them being used in a few different applications ranging from complete signal replacement to additional lights for safety. The kit comes with a set of self-tapping screws so you can stick em’ wherever looks best for your bike.

The lights are E Mark approved so no need to worry about the safety of this product as they are just as good if not better than whatever you got stock on your bike.

Pre-order the rear, or front pods here.

  1. $240 for a set of four! 1%ers won’t bat an eye at that price, but for the rest of us there are many other MUCH cheaper options out there.

  2. I’d like to see these in broad daylight. Many of the replacement turn signal lights I have seen are pretty much worthy in notifying other motorists of the rider’s intentions. I too ride a 2017 FJ-09. But my safety is more important than my need for cool.

  3. The problem with aftermarket lighting is visibility From the Sides .
    Factory Signal lighting gives light to the sides . More motorists can see your intentions .
    That is the purpose of Signals is to be seen .
    If your improving something it should at least be as visible as the original equipment . From as many angles as possible !
    Not hidden by a fork or rear cowling …….
    If it’s better , it should provide more safety not less Safety !
    Riding motorcycles since 83′ .
    I have seen some close calls because the rider used small LED lights no longer seen by other drivers . Only visible to straight ahead or straight behind …… Not An Improvement to safety at all.

    1. Buy an extra set and mount em’ to the side of your bike then. The brackets allow for universal mounting.

  4. You say that they are REALLY bright. Won’t that blind upcoming traffic, especially if mounted on the handguards?
