    Ebay, although shipping to Can. is usually pretty expensive and a pita. What you looking for and for what budget? I've been window shopping and ... :? :? :?
    anywhere from from $15 for 4 to $300 for one. What style? round, square, rectangular, triangular, crossular, skullular? bullet style, egg shell ? Mini, midi, maxi? single fillament, dual fillament? red lens? or orange, clear, purple, blue? black housing, chrome housing, plastic, metal, fiberglass. new, used? etc etc etc etc etc 8O
    K got a bit carried away but you get my drift :p

    I used K&S 4136's. http://www.kandstech.com/index.php?page=Turnsignal

    They're "Yamaha pattern" but newer Yamaha from the '90s (in fact still used on the XJR1300) and really bring the bike into the 21st Century.

    I got them from chacal, and I believe he now stocks them.

    those look good fitz! I thinkI'm thinking smaller and tighter to the bike thou...

    pauluminous - yeah bit of an open ended stare-off-into-space question eh? Think I'd stick with round given the headlight and mirrors I put on it...think the skull and crossbones or triangle may look odd. Perhaps cateye...

    saw these: http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_c ... uId=212277

    Some decent options me thinks...

    Can you convert easily to dual filament so you have running lights in the front?

    The ones from DK are pretty nice but will set you back quite abit more, considering exchange and shipping. Dunno if it matters to you but the 2nd one isn't DOT approved.
    I like the 3th one, they might be kinda small tough, also I would try to get them with red lenses for the rear. They can be had from fleabay for the same price but include 4 markers(add shipping, exchange and waiting though).
    For running lights, I THINK just connecting one fillament to the headlight should do the trick.

    as far east as you can get in michigan 43.027407,
    i put the same signals as BFitz on my 900...

    the fronts are the correct length but the rears need to be about an inch to two inches shorter but i like them better than the rectangular stockers...

    Now...just need to find some funk/round/chrome bar end mirrors! (oh and drop the engine and final drive oil :) )

    Out twice today for a rip...stopped at a tim hortons and had 4 harley riders wander over for a look....asked me what I had into it....told him...said thinks I did better than the $22k for his harley!

    FACT! :)
