I put the flexible rubber mount extensions on mine, now they will fold right back without breaking
I was thinking about doing that. Should be as simple as just cutting the stem in half and using a small piece of nylon hose to connect them two pieces back together.

But I figured that a strong enough impact could still crack the plastic lense :\

Yea I have the Acerbis with the turns, and I'm going to try to get them to be brighter, and the rear flush mounts are awesome, along with getting rid of the plate holder that hangs way down.
Thats what I have (it was you I copied actually ) although the license plate mount i have is a little different and the light is too high for the rack to still stay on. Might have to dosome chopping to get it on there. Deej do your lights flash alot quicker now that you have that setup? And do share when you figure out a way to get brighter lights

If you are getting a fast flash, you need to install what I did, its a relay that plugs right in where the old one goes behind the headlight, and it not only fixes the fast flash, but it allows you with the cancel button to choose one of five different flashes including the stock normal flash. Let me see if I can find that post.

Well I found the post, but the link is dead now. This is the one I bought, but I can't find it in the states. That one is in the UK.

Here you go, but I only paid around $24.00

Here is a site where you can click to see the 5 different flashes

There are several other companies that carry similar products.

very nifty gadget indeed. might have to get something like that. although i dont remember clipping off the old relay. I cut the wires right at the bulb, inside the rubber stem.
