I've received a few emails asking about the size of the DRC Type 601 and 602 turn signals/flashers and how they compare to the stock WR250R turn signals. See photo above for a comparison.

For the last year or two, I had been running Acerbis hand guards and still had the stock front turn signals on the bike. This spring I thought it was time to get rid of the huge stock front turn signals, so I decided to go with Zeta Armor Hand Guards with Zeta XC Flasher Protectors. This setup integrates the turn signals into the plastic Zeta XC Protector and makes for a nice clean look at the front of the bike.
When installing the aluminum Zeta Armor Hand Guards, I used a Zeta Triple Clamp Hand Guard Mount instead of the standard handlebar mount that comes with the hand guards. The triple clamp mount attaches the in-board part of the hand guard to the upper fork triple clamp bolts instead of to the handlebar itself (photo above, bottom left). I think this is the most secure way to mount the hand guards and lessen the likelihood of them rotating on the handlebar in the event of a crash.
Running Lights:
Because the Zeta XC Flasher Protectors use LED lights, you will lose the factory turn signal running lights. So, when we did the wiring for the flashers, we spliced in a 12oclockLabs Turn Signal Running Light Adapter between the factory wiring and the Zeta flasher wiring. This will make the Zeta XC Flasher Protectors work as running lights (and they will still flash as turn signals). I think doing this is important from a safety standpoint since the running lights will help drivers see you as you approach them, especially if you ride at night. See this post for more details.
Turn Signal Flash Rate:
Because the Zeta XC Flasher Protectors use LED lights, they will flash at a faster rate than the stock turn signals do. I wanted the new Zeta XC Flashers to flash at the slower factory rate, so I installed a 12oclock Labs Fixed Rate Turn Signal Flasher. This is a very simple install on the WR250R/X and plugs in just to the right of the battery location.

On the WR250R (and WR250X) the stock front turn signals also operate as running lights. Along with the headlight, they help drivers see you as you approach them. When installing aftermarket LED flashers/turn signals, you will lose the running lights. To fix that, you need to wire a 12oclock Labs Running Light Adapter between the factory wiring and the LED flasher wiring. This will make your new LED front flashers work as running lights (and they will still flash as turn signals). I think doing this is important from a safety standpoint since the running lights will help drivers see you as you approach them, especially if you ride at night.
Wiring Info:
The following photos will help you wire the 12oclocklabs Running Light Adapter in between the factory wiring and your new LED flasher wires. We've installed DRC Type 601 Flashers on our WR250X and Zeta XC Flasher Protectors on our WR250R, each using a 12oclocklabs Running Light Adapter, and this is how we did the wiring...
• 12oclocklabs Running Light Adapter - Front Left Turn Signal
• 12oclocklabs Running Light Adapter - Front Right Turn Signal

If you install aftermarket LED Turn Signals/Flashers on your WR250R or WR250X, they will flash at much faster rate than the stock OEM turn signals did. To correct that, you will need to install a 12oClockLabs Fixed Rate Turn Signal Flasher module. This is a very simple install on the WR250R/X. The module plugs in just to the right of the battery location. You simply un-plug the factory turn signal flasher module, and replace it with the 12oClockLabs module as shown in photo above.
