Getting off my bike night before last, i was swinging my leg over the seat, and I felt something pop, and looked back to find my rear right turn signal hanging down.  I must not be the first to do this, I hope....   Anyway, it was a really clean break, and I think that with some plastic solvent, it could be reattached quite securely.  On the other hand, I started looking at fender eliminator kits.  I'm not too thrilled by any of them in terms of looks, but I'm open to ideas.  Who has them? What do you like?  Anyone get one that they hate?  Somebody sell me on one...
I looked at the Rizoma one, it looks pretty good but it is a little pricey when compared to a tube of solvent.

The Rizoma tail is pricey but very nice.  After reading about multiple people kicking off their rear blinkers (and nearly doing it myself)  I decided to go with Oberon bar end signals and a Motodynamics integrated tail light.  I now have three blinkers facing rear and four facing front.  Been pulled over around ten times in Nor-Cal and no hassles for them.

BTW it was a lot more expensive than a tube of solvent.  Around $250.00.  More if you want the Rizzoma tail......

Welcome aboard goog.

You didnt say what bike you have?  I've heard of turn-signals getting kicked off on M696/796/1100 a couple of times though.  I never managed to do it, but have the DP tail tidy fitted.  Its pricey too, but I like it.  Looks kinda like stock but less of it.

Just to help ya out.  That is the Ducati Performance tail.  Very similar to Rizoma.

I personally like the Evotech fender eliminator. It is very high quality!
