yeah, looks real nice, that isn't angled up to get bothered for it, plus you've still got the light shining on it,

we just cut the fender off, now all we've gotta do is get new turn signals, cause the stock ones were huge before, but now without the long fender to even it out, oh god do they look huge, is there a way to shorten them? i pulled apart my triumph ones and was able to shorten them, i looked at the gs ones but couldn't figure out any way to do it

check out the "Shorten Signal Stalks" section

http://www.gstwin.com/shortstalks.htm

Buell signals work and are DOT legal.  I've read some people have the fast blinking problem but its an easy fix.  I believe Pantablo's site has info on that.
Title: Easy fix...

Yes easy fix... Blinkers fast... use a wagner 552 flasher unit from an auto parts store.
Cool.

I picked up the blinkers on mine at the suzuki dealer for 16$. Good price and twice as bright as stock,(plus they look like arrows). :) I had to lengthen the wires by 5"(had to pull out thewire strecher :lol: ), it was only mm short but I said what the hey, put a little more on.
