Seriously it will look like a beat officer's bike. Further it reduces the scope of having a funky shape for the indicators.

    This integration into R15's rear lamps is good but on road I doubt it's visibility at first glance. At first glance many commuters coming at the back might not comprehend to it as indicator, especially when the indicator is on and one is trying to brake. But this set up looks neat without any extra addition.

    Gixxer's rear lamps also have similar shape.
    RGB LEDs, programmed or wired to emit Red light along with flashing yellow light whenever the turn signal is switched ON. I think you are misunderstanding the specific use of RGB LEDs in this particular mod. If you have watched the video, the tail light contains a custom PCB with RGB LEDs wired to emit Red light on turning the lights ON or braking and flash yellow light when the turn signal is ON.

    Also why do you need a "funky" shape for Indicators? They are indicators, not a cosmetic part. I understand you want to do something unique with your Gixxer and I get your idea but its not Practical. Drilling holes into a perfectly good bike? Not my cup of tea and I dont think any Gixxer owner will want to do that.

    Also yes, its a design limitation of R15's and Gixxer's tail lights that they are very small and integrated blinkers will not be of much significance. Also the indicators will be perfectly visible when braking when you see it on the roads. In the video, the camera just diffuses the light so it does not look sharp. I have seen couple of R15s with this same mod on the road and their indicators were perceived just fine by me. (Also given the condition of Indian traffic, I dont think anyone would care looking at the indicators in the first place, at which point having the indicator just becomes a formality, which has to change)

      It is just an indicator and that's why I want it to look more appealing with a funky shape. I don't have a video or photo to show how the strips can be integrated with just minor holes spanning just mm in dia. The strips would actually cover the holes and be aesthetic, which I can explain to a moto mechanic in person. Once I come by any such thing I will post it.

      I wouldn't do it if it spoils the bike but only do it if it adds to the looks. Nobody cares even if I don't have indicators. All I want is that remove the rear fender and there is a colombian video on youtube where the test rider freakishly riders a gixxer that way.

      It all comes down to personal preference and I am wondering how you're able to continue and explain how to make indicators when I just posted a picture of a gixxer without rear fender.

        First: "Nobody cares even if I don't have indicators" That is a very bad attitude. Atleast as a member of xbhp I want my fellow xbhpians to follow the road rules and regulations properly. As of now you are just giving the YOLO, irresponsible attitude. Most of the proper bikers here will not like that. Also it is not "just" an indicator. It is a means to signal your turns. I think you are one of those riders who doesnt use indicators while turning, instead maybe uses Hand Signals or no signals at all?

        Second: It seems like you dont understand the concept of "Integrated Blinkers/indicators". The point of having Indicators INTEGRATED into the tail light is so that you can get rid of the rear fender and clean up the Tail section.

        Third: Your concept of drilling holes into the Grab rail makes absolutely no sense. Where are you going to place the LED strip? I am pretty sure the Grab Rails are not hollow. Even if they were, how do intend to place the Strip in there. Assuming you do manage to get an LED strip placed on/under the grab rail, how do you plan on covering the strips or teh wires? Its impractical. Besides, I have never seen a bike with LEDs installed on the Grab rails. Do you have any example image that I can look at?

        In the end, grab rails were designed so that the pillion rider can grab it. If you are gonna tamper around with them, you are damaging the structural integrity of the Grab rails and causing a functional defect.

        Please post a link of the Youtube video where the test rider is riding a Gixxer 155 without a rear fender.

        However for now I am done discussing on this topic. Provide some images or examples of LED mods on teh grab rail and then we can talk further.

        P.S: Dont consider this as an offence but a healthy discussion. Its just that, out of all the Modifications that I have seen and know of; for motorcycles, what you are suggesting is impractical.

              Hi All,
              Has any one used saddle/tank bags on the gixxer?
              Any suggestions would be welcome as it is not possible to travel more than 100km per day on backpacks.
              Leads to shoulder/back pain...
              I have gone thru the luggage system offered by viaterra. Pls check the links below:




              Apart from the above if any tailor made solutions are available which people here have tried, pls share...

                          I searched but I could not find a Gixxer without rear fender, which is fine.

                            A college student can perform stunts but by joining in proper coaching and proper practice!!

                                Suzuki Gixxer test ride review by Info Bikes (Mizoram)Test Rider: Muantea


                                Here you go. Don't know if he is from mizoram or colombia but some language I don't understand for sure. Prolly, you need to search better and be more interested in knowing the bike better before you can state anything.

                                I can go on and justify how even your idea might end up being YOLO, find out sentences from our quotes to be of YOLO type, how my statement was just there metaphorically and finally justify my riding style to be safer than you've mentioned. But I have got no time to waste here with you and I do not wish to make you all understand my imagination/idea. Your imagination might be different but that doesn't mean another one would spoil the beauty or perfection of the bike. It only means that you all might yet not be open to newer ideas/designs which every trend faces once in the beginning and I absolutely have nothing to talk against it. Sometimes reading your quotes makes me wonder if you even read others' at all. Have fun with your bike and supporters haha. You win.
