Kawasakis are easy. Just swap the switchblock for one off a bike with hazards. We did both ours.
What Honda has hazards as standard?

Waaaay too much effort! I think you should be looking at say, CBR1000RR?
When I did my Kawasaki it was a plug n play. It uses all the standard wiring and flasher unit. The only reason I haven't done my 1000F is because I need one that has the choke lever.

Maybe I'll use the Kwaka one an just swap both switchblocks.

http://www.motorcycleproject.com/mot...t/hazards.html

here is another option...it explains two methods. one like the above link (method 2) and one re-purposing the kill switch. though i'm not sure if the bike would run if you used the kill switch...if it would i think it would look cleaner...can anyone confirm, that the bike can be made to run without the kill switch, for me?? i can live without my kill switch...i normally use my key or the kickstand to stop the engine anyways

^If you can bypass it, it can. Take apart your switches, and you basically have to find a way to permanently trip it. I wouldn't recommend it at all honestly.

Just mount a new, simple switch somewhere else. I know the arm signals, so I'll do that if I have to pull over.

It looks good to me, maybe i'll try this one., but, i dont know if it will be easy doing it on the f4i...

Btw of course i'll put the switch in another place, maybe on the air duct cover like the one i already have for the radiator fan...

I kind of always wanted a white strobe that would stay on all the time. I know its cheesy but if a strobe light can get the attention of a soccer mom on her phone sign me up.
