Turn signal headaches

Having a lot of trouble finding decent aftermarket turn signals. I really like and want the Buell Ulysses ones, but they are a rare find and on ebay they are sold for not so reasonable prices with high bids. I thought about changing to the older GS500E signals but, well another problem. I did a fenderectomy shown here:



Now I can't get the stock signals to fit correctly. They look ok for now but I don't have a matching set of front signals. I'm removing the headlight fairing from my GS500F to convert it to a naked bike, but there are flush signals being used at present and I don't think they will fit correctly once the fairing is removed. Has anyone done this fender removal before and have run into the same issue? What turn signals did you use? I am looking to go the aftermarket route but so far haven't found any decent quality signals. My road test (to get my license) is fast approaching and I won't be able to use my bike given it's current setup.

HELP!!!  :icon_sad:

Cool, but there should be another alternative that at least one person here can suggest.

Use an integrated taillight.  Clear alternatives makes a nice one.  It's made for the F, but you can fit it to an E if you work at it.

I have a GS500F, just removed the fairings because I was tired of looking at all those road rashes. Clear alternatives charges $55 to ship to Canada. With additional post office customs charges that's clearly not an alternative for me.
