No hazards. Didn't know storms came with them?

No they didn't come with Hazard warning lights, I just saw you had indicators illuminated both sides at once so just assumed :)

The reason I mentioned it was, I fitted a Hazard warning set-up to my Storm years ago. Not so long ago it gave up the ghost (burnt out) and I'm looking for a possible replacement. The system I had is no longer available,

The stock turn signals on mine remained illuminated while bike was running unless they were blinking. LED signals wired to do the same for safety.

20 years younger, eh?
I bet Honda's design engineers wish they had thought of that one, it would have saved a huge amount of money designing today's bikes.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Ah, so that's what it is, a new one to me.

On US spec bikes the front signals have running lights that stay on all the time but not on the rear which only act as signals.

Most of the design elements are timeless, turn signals however are not.

To be fair, I changed the rear ones on mine to streaming ones, anything that makes you more noticeable is a good idea.

It's the fat butt that dates firestorms, to my eyes.
