Has anyone replaced the Rear Turn Signals??

I would really like to replace or shorten the stems on my rear turn signals, but not sure what would work best. Has anyone done this on an America yet? I would try to search through the archives, but my wireless internet is down temporarily and I'm stuck with dial up and researching anything is so slow it's painful.

I replaced the stock lights with Rizoma Zero 11 LEDs. Looks hot IMO.

I kept the turn signals, but, I cut the stems and milled them to use as the support bolts for the rear fender.

Thanks for the responses

I don't mind the looks of the turn signals, but just think they stick out way too far. I think I'll keep the turn signals, shorten the stalks and go with clear lenses. I'll probably also go with clear lenses in the front turn signals. Just little changes make a big difference.

Does triumph offer the clear lenses? They didn't used to. After I cut mine down I wanted to run clears.

Not that I know of, however Lucas L-760 clear lenses will fit with minor modifications.
