I wonder if these CB750 indicators would fit:

A tad better priced than the beemer units, these work out at €44 each on Motobins

Personally, I don't care for the look of the "bullet" style lights. My beemer has a german squareness to it, so I like the rectangular stock look. A signal is a signal. (in Texas, they're not required, just flap your arms.) So pick what you like.

I didn't want to bum his stone, but black is faster than chrome/polished aluminum/silver plastic anyway... ::)

A rattle can of satin black will take care of that shiny aluminum in a jiffy. ;)

i mounted these on mine in the front, and look great

They look neat, Did you mount them on the existing standard stems, or did you remove those and mount elsewhere?

RecondoTexas added turn signals that look just like the Dime City units but were sourced at Cycle Gear on sale for $9.99. Not LED bulbs so no need to tweak the flasher.
SFC Miller's R65 rocks an old'scool-look Acewell digi unit and custom headlight bracket ears. The front sigs mounted easily to the "ears" and the eBay sourced and modified R65 rear fender accepted a drilled hole for the rear sigs.
I checked out his R65 while in Austin last weekend. It's much faster than his FZR600 Yamaha that's presently scattered throughout his garage. ;D

I took on board the good advice and went with these:

Alu satin black / €10 each

As long as you don't buy any chrome ones...
...Chrome wont bring you home!
As they say in some circles.

sry for the late reply, i mounted them on a new headlight bracket i bought, it was cheaper than replacing the stock one
