I bought an integrated taillight/turn signal unit for my FZ6 since I got cases that hide the rear signals from most angles, and I have a question about the wiring. The taillight itself is pretty self evident, 3 wires to 3 wires, but it’s only got one wire for each signal where the originals have 2. Do I need to do anything with those now superfluous grounds?

That’s what I thought but it’s been a long time since I did any electrical theory and wanted to be sure.

Looks fine, OP. That bolt might be annoying if you ever have to take the rad out (some bikes you might want to unbolt it to get at spark plugs maybe) but until then I wouldn’t worry about it.

A good polishing can do wonders but it won’t last. I just spend an hour with a thing of Turtle Wax polishing compound a rag bout once a season.

Yuasa batteries are pretty dependable, other batteries I’ve tried have had shorter lifespans, but at the end of the day a battery is a battery.

The main thing is you want a maintenance-free battery, sealed from the factory so there’s no dicking around with acids and distilled water.
