FeaturesWe offer five sizs of the popular Short Stalk Marker Lights. The small ones look best on the 250 machines and the larger Short Stalk II's on the bigger bikes. The Short Stalk II's feature a dual filament or single filament so they can be used as running lights as well as flashers. The Short Stalk I uses a single filament flashers only bulb. Short Stalk lights are now available in carbon look finish. Carbon look Short Stalks are available with a clear, smoke or amber l
I bought aftermarket because the rubber arms on the OEMs had rotted.
I actually didn't get LEDs as I couldn't find any that looked close enough to stock. In the end I got these and these. The second link is for the dual filament model so you can keep the running lights like stock.
It looks like Amazon is out of stock for those particular ones but the manufacturer is definitely still making them.
I wouldn't be concerned about getting flush indicators. I would be leery of doing anything that would decrease visibility. You can find some lower profile stalks that will stick out less, but still let you be seen by other drivers.
A word of caution tho, if you're looking to go LED for your signals as I have, while you get a much brighter light, on an older bike it's likely you won't be drawing enough current to activate the relay that makes it flash. This is what happens when a turn signal is burned out and why you get that fast flashing, which is what you will have if you don't get an aftermarket relay or some decent resistors to help.
Another thing you could do, which is what I did, is I rewired my stock turn signals to my brake light as well as installed led turn signals. What this did was allowed it to draw enough current to keep it from giving me the fast flash, as well as giving a dull flash in my tail light. AFAIK it's legal to have a flashing/pulsing/strobing brake light since they sell kits for it. I put the bulbs in the same spot as the brake light bulbs, but I used a few strips of red SMD 5050 in my brake light housing and they're much brighter than stock.
Edit: added link for the type of turn signals.
