[glow=red,2,300]Warning [/glow]this is a "no going back" modification because you cut apart your stock signals for the mounting studs.

I wanted to get rid of the long stems of the rear signals...not to mention the plastic units themselves held no appeal to me.  So I purchased these signals on ebay  I like the small bullet look:


Here is the stock signal off the bike:


You can pull the stock signal apart:


It turns out the after-market signal has 9/16-18 threads and that can be tapped perfectly into the stock stem - you only need to tap down through the silver stud:


Then, cut the small silver mounting stud from the rest of the stem:


and screw it onto the aftermarket signal with some threadlocker:


This new assembly then mounts to the bike the same way the stock signals do (stock on right, aftermarket on left):


I changed out the lenses to amber, used my stock signal lamps and like the look sooooo much better!
