Man, those things were a pain. Really it's the front ones that are the most problematic. Honda uses a 6mm bolt to attach them and you really have to pull the headlight off to get to it. You'd have to drill out the signal mount to get new signals in there, so I just used the new signals as headlight mounting bolts because they're the same size. For the rear you're going to need some washers to mount anything into the stock mounting hole. I forget what size I used, but do yourself and get 4. Paint two black for the outside. You'll need them on both sides if you use the british customs signals. You might think you won't, but the washer that comes on those will push through the hole when given a good amount of torque and that's no fun. Believe me.

Thanks for the heads up. I got two weeks before I can pick my bike up so I'm subsisting off of owner pics and samurider!
