I want to shorten them about 3-4 inches almost snug against my License plate. Ride like you mean it.

If that link doesn't work go to search and type in +shorten +turn +signal and then change to posts older than 1 day. Last edited by beanache; 09/26/2012 5:12 PM.

It's an easy install once the stems have been turned down. Took about a half hour and several to cut,turn & die the stems down. about 10mins to reassemble the stems to the tailight nacelles & mounting braket, and about 20mins to splice, solder, and final the whole shebang onto the bike!
