Shortening Blinkers

First of all let me say i love mods that cost nothing.
I have always thought the blinkers on a Bandit look droopy.I decided to
cut them down, after staring at them for hours i figured it out.It took
about 10 min. each blinker,very easy. The pics i have got are of a naked bandit but you get the idea.
The one on the left is shortened ,right one original.I could have made it shorter but was happy with this .Looks more in real life.

Take blinker off and completely apart,trim rubber back with sharp knife,like filleting a fish so it looks like this,

Cut off end so it does not go to far into shell ,cut in small grove to accept retaining clip as in pic

Put it all back together and it should look neat like this.

Stand back and admire you handywork

I like the shorter stalk but how does it look when installed on the Bandit?
Enquiring minds want to know...

Oh, and that picture of you admiring your handiwork is spooky!

It's shown in his first photo. Left side is shortened, right side is stock. My vote is for shortened, good mod!

I'll put a pic up of the rear seeing you dont get the naked.
Still a bit droopy but much better IMHO

GredH if that owl is keeping you awake at night ,think of this one.

That's what I get for just looking at the pictures.

I like the shortened stalk. In fact, I believe I'm going to copy the mod.

That first owl looks so surprised.

Neat job. Maybe in the future.
