side marker lights for signals $2 bucks each, bulbs 38cents, Funky but cheap and out of the way.

Default DRC LED signals

Picked up a pair of these after I finally ripped my goofy oversized stock ones off. Also installed the edge2 tail light.

K&S Universal Marker Lights - Small - Black/Amber on eBay!

I picked these up for my bike because I had the same issue with my exhaust.

Where did you get those from?

Rear turn signals on stalks do not work with an off-road bike. They will break when you crash and if you don't crash then you aren't trying hard enough.

I bought short aftermarket signals after the OEMs went away and then after the aftermarket shorties went away I solved the problem by getting flush mounts from baja designs. They look like a cab marker light on a pickup but mount directly to the fender and are out of harm's way.

Incandescent which is fine. No need to get fancy here, it's a blinker.

So did anybody have a dash issue with '09 and up klx's? I was thinking of buying one of those aftermarket flash timer thing-a-ma-jiggys.

I put LEDs on the rear turn signals without the relay. No problems on the dash. My blinkers are fast now but it makes no difference to me. My buddy was riding behind me and said the fast flashing stood out, which is what you want when the cagers are creepin behind you.

I like this option.

Could you provide a link for those so I can purchase the exact same items. Also, were they straight plug in ready? Any cutting wires or adding nuts, bolts, etc? Or did it come straight from package & mount perfectly onto the existing mounting bracket/holes?

Thanks.
