I put some KuryAkyn bullet lights on mine. I took a hollow shaft and threaded one end metric (to bolt to the subframe) and the other SAE (for the lights).

You can cover up the holes with small chrome or black plastic plugs. Try Home Depot.

Re:rear turn signals 6 Years, 1 Month ago  
Depending on what you are looking for, I just saw a new product that Kuryakyn is coming out with in the next couple of months that replaces the whole stock assembly with some cool bullet lights and a license plate frame. You can check it out on their website. I'm planning on putting it on my bike when it's available so let me know what you think.
