Rear turn signal stalk elimination
The rear turn signal stalks have to go. After researching deep in the dark past of spyderlovers, the perfect solution seems to be the ESI all-in-one. Great! Well they dont sell them anymore. Any other ideas to convert the tail/brake lights into turn signals as well? Sure! Theres the triple play! But I dont need the included leds for the turn signals, and I dont really want the extra harness for said signals bouncing around underneath.
Question number two- I want to convert the brake/taillights to the genesis LEDs. According to old posts those came seperate at one point. All i can find on ESI is the genesis tails with brand new housings, for$224! My perfectly good housings arent in the mood for being replaced.
Anyone have a personal relationship with the guys at ESI and could make an all in one and/or LED taillights without housing happen?
I tried emailing them in the past, but whichever robot auto answers email wasnt any help.
On i side note, ive tried the pilot 1157 leds from pepboys before, worked great until some magical electric gremlin decided that limp mode would be fun, after they worked fine for several months. Back to incadescent, no more limp mode. Dont really want to go that route again.

Just a thought..!!
You could always go to the flush mount turn signals. There are many of those and they don't stick out at all. Check the sport bike sites they hate turn signals...

I have no suggestions, but I would talk to Custom Dynamics if you can't get ahold of ESI. ESI sold out their line to Custom Dynamics several years ago, and are now just a reseller.
