    Do you want something to replace the stalks, or are you looking for something to clean up the back of the bike?

    Heres the back of mine:


    Thats with a Two Bros exhaust and the kit they include with it, but it gives you an idea of how the bike can look with the back end cleaned up a bit.

    I had a bulb go too and I couldn't find a replacement, so I did switch it to LED signals... When you do LED lights, you need to make sure you do positive to positive and ground to ground or they won't work.
    These ones won't do the job for this set up...

    These are pretty much the identical style to the ones I threw on there. They work good, have been on for about 2 years now and they still work just fine!

    Re: LED lights

    Do i need to get a resistor or will they work without? I have found some that say that a resistor is recommended.

    Resistor isn't right if you have LED lights that draw much less power. Better to change the OEM flasher to a flasher that will work with LED lights.

    Re: LED lights

    I can record how fast mine flash.
    I have LED flush mounts up front and LED in the rear and they don't pulse too fast. The next time I'm out with the bike I'll record it for ya and post it since I'll be able to give you the best idea what it looks and functions like.

    Re: LED lights

    An example would be like this. It's called 'hyper-flashing'.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1t_T5m-wQI
    He's showing his signals but that's somewhat how the flash speed will be.

    It's somewhat dangerous too because people will not notice it's blinking when it's too fast..

    Re: LED lights

    I think mine flash slower than that...
    I have a video with my LED signals on the front and my incandescent ones that came with my Two Bros at the back:
