Default Stubby Stock Front Turn signals

I searched the forum and I was wondering has anyone seen aftermarket front turn signals that are just like the stock ones but maybe a little shorter so they are closer in on the bike? I'm looking for something other than flushmounts but not the slim pointy universal turn signals. Anybody seen something like thesein their internet travels?

^Those are probably the closest you're going to get. The first ones are flushmounts.

I kinda like the ones teko1020 suggested. Do you have those ones installed? I would love to see some pics of them on the bike if you have those on yours.

These are stock-ish & inexpensive...

I ran these after my catseye signal(s) burned out & I was waiting on my hotbodies LEDs to arrive. They are two-wire, not three like our stock ones. So you can't use them as running lights. I did wire them up as three-way initially but they couldn't handle the heat. For two-way, they're fine though. They aren't anything special, just an option for you.

No I dont, sorry. I actually eliminated the entire mounting area on the side of my fairing, so its solid now, and got integrated mirrors.

My point was that w/ those that I used, couldn't take the heat of being run as running-lights. The black plastic cases actually melted. ;D
So beware that unless you're running LEDs or good quality lights, you'll need to stick w/ the 2-wire set up & use 'em as turn signals only.

My Hotbodies LEDs can handle a 3-wire conversion just fine.
