    I would like to be able to have the turn signals on my DR650 on all the
    time to aid in being a bit more visible by motorists. Of course, I would
    want them to flash for turning. Wouldn't this be as simple as changing
    the normally open flasher relay to a normally closed relay? Or is it a
    bit more difficult then that? I've heard Harley Davidson makes a kit to
    do this to their bikes. Is such a kit available for my Suzuki?

    if your turns are amber it will be illegel to do. only red is allowed to
    the rear. This is in the US. KB

  3. You might convert from an 1156 to an 1157 bulb and socket.

    Another way this is sometimes done is to put separate
    red or yellow LED(s) into the turn signal housing and
    leave the signal circuit stock.
