Blue,
Yes, it is stock. I am looking into getting an eliminator soon. The first time it came off I thought it was stolen out of a parking garage. The second time, I dont know what happened. And luckily the third time, which had zip ties, a lady pulled up beside me at a light and told me exactly where it fell off so I was able to turn around and get it.

I am leaning more toward this one, and then getting clear alternatives for the from and rear signals.

+1. They are much better, the epoxy is basically built in. Also they come off with just a fair amount of torque.

 

+1 on the lock nuts, if you use a standard nut/bolt the vibration can back the nut off but you will be fine with a locknut.
