I have a 08 BA and I like the overall look of the bike. But I have to say if I could replace one item it would be the brake light and signals. I was looking at the rear brake light on a 08 R3 and think that some configurations of that type would look great on the bike. Unfortunately it does not appear to be an easy switch. Does anyone know of a simple replacement that would not require metal work and painting of the fender in order to replace the brake light and signals? I would hate to go through that since I just purchased the bike in July.

That kit is better looking but still the brake light stick way out from the fender. Would like something more in profile.

Thought the R3 Touring would loog good as well, I think the standard Bonneville would fit as well, the plate would be below the light as well.
