Shorter turn signal " arms " ?

[mannny]

Does anybody have any suggestions where I could find shorter " arms " for the rear turn signals.
After mounting the brake/tail light flush with the seat, the current ones look a little awkward to me ( sticking out too much ).

Honda has several bikes that use the same style signals on shorter stems. I'm not sure which ones offhand but I think it may be the CBR600.  If you keep an eye on ebay they come up quite often or if there is a bike wrecker near you that may be a possibility. My suggestion is to if possible get new ones because the old ones like 18yr old CB-1 stems will be very hard and brittle. I broke one just bumping into it walking by the bike. I got 4 new ones for $35 and they can be bent almost 90 degrees easily and bounce back

Thanks clarkdw,

I'll check with Zdeno Cycle in Kitchener.
He is a bike " Recycler " and from what I understand, has a huge inventory.
If that does'nt work out, there is always ebay, or something brand new.

Here's several possibilities. Cheap enough to buy the whole signal unit. I am sure the stems are available separately as well.

Here's some really short stems from an early Interceptor. Probably not worth buying but obviously designed to fit the same signals as the CB-1. Gives some idea of what is available.
