Finally my 2003 oem rear turn signal broke

[mitt]

Hi everyone.  Long time member here, even a DMF flounder some would say.  Haven't been around much but trying to get back into 2 wheels with motors.

My 2003 M1000 DS monster needs new rear turn signals, one finally broke (probably my 14yo getting on and off the pillion seat).  I did a search but most posts are from 3+ years ago with part number and vendor recommendations that are now defunct. 

What says the community for good and reasonable rear turn lights and sources?  I do not want integrated with tail light.  I also do not want micro LEDs.  I want something that fits the 2003 era monster style and is ideally bolt on, although I do have access to machine shop to make adapters if needed.

thanks-

Another Flounder!!! Good that you kept the Monster.

Stock beer tray? Anything BUT stock will look strange because most/all are designed to fit on a flat large'ish surface, with straight stalks, versus stock which are formed to fit. Another issue is that two out of the three holes on a stock solution will be empty if you choose a generic after market light (yes, there are adapter plates to hide the holes).

Yes, stock beer tray but have a plate relocator.   Looks like the oem signals use a 6mm bolt.  I was wondering about the extra holes and anti rotation.

While taking stuff apart last night I can't find one of these spacers that go into the rubber isolators.  Must of dropped out and rolled

Are OEM not available, too expensive, or undesirable?

.... those spacers like their freedom more than serving us.

I haven't checked yet.  I might just go with OEM if I don't see any aftermarket I like.

I have the smaller tray and went with these, with 23 watt bulbs. They have a few hundred options. Scroll a little.

Personally, I like the OEM signals on the M series Monsters as well as anything else I've seen.

Looks like they're available for $40 and change.

Yep, just looked them up on Ducati Omaha. 

If that spacer is for the tail light, new part number 7161411A pack for 3 for $6.36.

Welcome back Mitt!

Thanks for the welcome back!.  An update after a little wait for parts, I did order a replacement and the spacers from Ducati Omaha.  Came from factory.  I installed it, and then like I anticipated it was enough different in the lens color than the 20 year old other signal I had to order a new one for it also so they matched.  Everything good now!
