Its a tight fit between the tire and fender. Bolts or nuts will not fit. I thought about the seat however I didnt want them bouncing when I hit bumps.

Stock ones I'm not sure. You can find tiny LED ones on amazon for around $20 that adhere with double sided tape. Stick those on the rear fender for a streamlined look. You could also put those under the seat, but I don't know how visible they'd be.

Alternatively you could make a bracket for the rear fender to mount the stock ones on. two pieces of 90 degree angle would do it, though it might mess up the lines of the bike a bit.

I bought a set like that an they dont do sh!t in daylight, or even dusk Angry

. are cool as an axillary signal wired into real turn signals since the leds dont draw much.

this is what i did, made a bracket out of angle iron for the seat and signals. only downside is i sometimes kick the cheapo lights off, but i got lots of spares Grin
