Unbreakable Turn Signals

Right now I am running a set of the Moto led's from Wheeling Cycle Supply. After a couple very minor get offs in the dirt, the flashers didn't exactly break but they don't exactly stay together either (the rubber bit won't stay attached to the plastic flasher bit). Rather than keep fixing them (silicone, epoxy, etc.), I'm switching to the integrated Zeta flasher handguards for the front but I need a solution for the rear.

So what is everyone using for rear turn signals that is dirt worthy without being too chunky or so small as to attract the attention of the local LEO's ?

i haven't done it yet (house remodel!)

my plan is to chop the rear mullet down so it's not quite so awesome, and put in a Clear Alternatives taillight / blinker setup

i already bought the CA setup off of craigslist (it's the 02/03 R1 light)

maybe not the most legal, but i've had a CA tailight / blinker setup from my old R6 that was super bright.

Buell Blast rear signals (shorter than the front ones) work well as front and rear replacement signals.

They used to be dirt cheap, but that was before Buell folded, so who knows now.

They are as unbreakable as I've ever used... the light pops off the stem if you whack it hard enough, and it's simple to clip the assembly back together again. I've literally hit the signal directly against trees and the only "permanent" damage was a cracked lens.

My solution is a little more low tech: I go to the local shoe shop and buy rubber that is used to re-sole a shoe. Cut that into strips and mount the lights to that. In the event of a fall the rubber will flex and the light will be unharmed. The rubber is stiff enough that the lights don't bounce around when riding.

My full mod writeup will hopefully be done this weekend . . . LED lights, custom racks, extra gas, switches, protectors, etc. It's going to be a big writeup

Chrispy - I noticed you are from Montreal; do you know anyone that is going to do the Paris/Dacre this year? I'm getting interested in forming a team.

Not cheap, but if you break it you've got other problems.

Sorry, no. I've heard of the Paris/Dacre but always read that they aren't accepting new teams.

This is the best tailight/blinker assembly in my option...and is on my get list for sure.

I like it but the local LEO's wouldn't. I need to maintain as low a profile as I possibly can.
