FMF Q4 - melts turn signals?
hmm..i've had the fmf q4 for 5,000 miles or so...heavy full throttle riding....no sign of any melting...i did notice if you don't push the connecting pipe all the way in...the exhaust tilts up towards the blinkers...i actually used heavy bicycle grease to slide the pipes in and out easier...

and, had the hmf for 2,000+ miles now...blinkers are fine....the hottest it gets around sf is probably 90s...and, i'm usually riding at about 75 mph to 80 mph for the most part....

you can try integrated...it's illegal in california and i've heard of people getting fix-it tickets for them...i bought this one below before i found out it was illegal....

some people get really creative...

I really like those, too bad they're illegal here.
I had the same problem with my TBR M-7. I made my own tip from 1 1/2" stainless tube, about 5" long. It now needs a wipe once a week to remove minor soot build up.
maybe you could have just angled it down instead of extending out so far....
I own an 09' w/ a Q4 and it DID melt some of the blinker. Heres what i did, I bought an aftermarket( Edge tail light assy). and reused my stock blinkers. The new tailight assy lifted the blinkers a little and no more problems. I did buy small blinkers to put on but i really don't like cutting wires on a brand new bike and i would have to do it to the front to keep it symetrical. The local motorcycle shop sells CHEAP tiny blinkers, but its all on what you like.
Trying to post a picture... why can't I just upload, asks for a url. ???
