    Anyone recommend some shorty turn signals that haven't gotten you hassled...

    ....by the law? The DR has some amazingly huge and fugly blinkers on it. I'm looking for something a bit smaller. I'd fit GSXR blinkers if they didn't use such a tiny bolt.

    Thanks gang!

    I can't say much about the law, since I haven't been stopped on a bike in over 10 years (knock on wood), but I like the Lockhart Phillips Short Stalk V. They're shaped like arrows and work quite well.

    You probably won't get hassled with shorty signals but might with flush mounts.

    I'll probably stick with standard shorties. Flush mounts probably won't look good or mount well on the DR.

    Edit: Front + Rear. Sorry Jim I actually posted a reply answering yours but apparently I didn't submit it.

    I know that LP has both single-filament and dual-filament signal lights. WHen I went looking this time around, most of the "cool" ones with LED have only 2 wires, so I'm not sure if they'd work the same in the front. My guess is no.

    I may be wrong though.

    Re: Anyone recommend some shorty turn signals that haven't gotten you hassled...

    This whole thread is such a repost.

    The laws in MASS. change every time a new registrar comes into power which is about every 2-4 years. The law does not say anything about LEDs, flushmounts, shorties or integrated taillights anymore. What it does say now is that the rear turn signals must be a minimum of 9 inches apart and front a minimum of 16 inches

    Click this link for the actual written inspection laws as they are now. Look at paragraph f for the turn signal requirements.

    The shock arrow LED signals are great. I have followed 2 friends who have them and I think they're the best seen aftermarket LED turn signals.

    We do. I have a few sets in stock and can get many others in a day or 2 depending on what you want. We're closed Mon. for holiday, but open regular hours otherwise. I have resistors too if needed.
