The things I didn't like were that I had to extend the wires to plug into the wiring harness and I needed a universal flasher relay to make them blink at a normal rate (though it worked ok with just the rear turn signals changed to buells). 

The Buell signals have a "pin" to keep them from rotating in the mounting holes; I would recommend drilling a little hole for the pin so the signals can't rotate, at least in the back, otherwise shave the pin off like Pablo recommends so the signal stalk mounts flush.

they look pretty good on my 06, and they do blink a little faster. i got used to it pretty quick.

this looks good, i may do this on my bike, if i can find the new signals easy enough, and get the installed easily,  its my laziness that i have to worry about when im tackling new projects

The_good_guy followed me one day in the canyons and he thought that even though they blinked faster they seemed brighter than the stock ones on my 01.
