which are those? they look similar to the ones u get off monsterparts.com they have a rubber part to it that makes it bend and not break! My bike has been down 3x with those and ive never had to replace them!

They are exactly like the ones from Monsterparts.com (had to check with a friend who got them for me).  Not sure the maker but they are LED Flexible turn signals.   Love em

If you are looking for smaller then go for it.  However, if you are just trying to trim the lines of the front you could do like I did; I removed the extension from the stem of the oem.  Makes quite a difference in the looks and it's free.

Anyone know (and ideally have pictures) how these go on an '07 S2R 800?
I'm concerned because the bike stock lights have a kind of stem, not sure how that "mates" with these.

And what about these: I like these a lot, any thought how they would fit? Also, any "extra holes" left visible on the body when changing from stock to these turn signals?

http://www.pure-ducati.com/p-176-ducati-monster-led-turn-indicators.aspx

Also, anyone know if these would require resistors to slow down the blink rate? Looking to change my stock front AND rear signals... (Don't love the stock ones, and all 4 of the plastic lenses on the lights are broken on one side (the plastic tabs are kind of snapped or something, The lights work and the lenses stay on, but they are sort of hanging on by one side only on each light... It's weird. Bought the bike used, almost certainly never dropped...))

Finally, any thoughts on these Rizomas? Again, how do they fit the existing stem, and anyone else think they are TOO angular to go with the lines of this bike?

Thanks in advance for any advice, and sorry for the 20 questions.

Photos of my M696 tail chop project.

First, as she looked unmodified.  Now looking back, that stock fender is kind of a travesty.


Next, the Competition Werkes fender eliminator kit installed. Because the kit moved the stock signals down and in closer to the bike, they are pretty much obstructed by the exhaust cans...friends went on to comment that they cant even see when I have them on.


Finally, the Light Werkes integrated tail light installed, stock turn signals removed, and license plate relocated.



The only irreversible modification done here was physically splicing the integrated signal wires into the stock blinker wires.  I chose to do this to leave the factory harness intact, rather than splicing new connectors onto the factory harness to fit the tail light. (I should have taken pictures of this step)  Everything else can go right back to stock should I ever want to.

The stem on your stockers comes off with the light - no interference

Your second link shows lights that probably use the same holes as the stockers, but they lack the widening stem that will make them clear the front fairing well. Plus they break very easily.

I think all LED signals require resistors, at least if you change all four.

Braking tabs is common. New lenses aren't that expensive.

The look of Rizoma lights is a matter of taste. Me, I'm kind of with you about the angular issues...

$175?Huh???!!!

For $175 I will gladly remove all turn signals and use only hand signals for the rest of the time I own my bike

Oh wait, I guess I did that anyway Smiley  Still wouldn't pay that much for something that small.

That does looks nice and clean!

Thanks very much for the advice so far, folks.

Does anyone have a picture of how the Rizomas actually look on a bike?

Link again...
