That melted signal pic is funnay 
I use these on the back, never any probs.. They stick right on and I put a couple drops of CA on to keep them stuck:
For the front I just use generic shorties. They don't last forever, but they're cheap enough to replace.

Buy the bike piece by piece and you have a $25,000.00 bike. LOL Go aftermarket for anything you can.
If you really want the stockers you should be able to find someone that has gone aftermarket and will part with their stockers. Ask on here or look on Ebay.
Good luck

What have you guys come up with for trail worthy signals, short of removal? My stockers have been pretty tough and survived to the point but would like to bin them while they are still good for resale.
Have some ideas of my own but wanted to see what the others have done.

More flexible than stock, shorter than stock, and better looking than stock. The guy at A.D. Farrow's north of Columbus knew exactly what I was looking for when I got a set for the Zephyr. He said they get dual sport riders buying them all the time. I'm getting a set for my KLX650 this summer. I hate the look of the stock lollipops and the stems are starting to crack. Even a K&L OEM style replacement sells for more than two of the Buell signals.
Take a look at them, you might like them. I did have to go to an automotive relay for variable (or no load) relay.

I have these on the rear of my KLX. Somehow, I haven't broke the fronts yet.

Not indestructable, but small enough that they don't get hit very often.

The highway dirtbikes (highwaydirtbikes.com) guard system is a bit pricey but they also offer blinkers that are built into the brush guards. They offer one of the toughest systems I've seen, but it entails using a special top camp which the guards bolt into, so they're not cheap (about $150.00 US) for the system which is only offer in a set.
