I had one in my 05 Jim and I didn't need anything. The blinkers flashed perfectly, absolutely no different from stock.

If you want some body running up your arse because they can't see your turn signal...go ahead :shock:

I'd rather have one any day. Mine was a shitload more visisble then the stock set up. Totally illegal as well but I never had any issues.

Hey Guys,

does anyone know if the ZX10 has a 2 or 3 pin flasher can relay? I have found an electronic flasher can designed for LED's (saves having to wire inline resistors) but I'm unsure as to how many pins it has, and I haven't had the time to rip the bike to bits yet and find out. Any help is much appreciated.
