    I've installed flashers on the rear that have stems like the one pictured here. My question is this. Can this stem be made to work in the stock location on the front of the bike? Thanks.

    as far east as you can get in michigan 43.027407,
    im wondering that too....

    the stem on the light needs a hole to go into. the front turns on the 750R have a stud that needs the rubber slipped on first and then the light housing clamps down...

    im wondering if Chacal has any. i sent an email but havent heard back...

    it can but it ain't easy
    you have to cut off the "pipe' as close to the bracket as possible, then drill out the bracket to accept your t.s. stem, then file any pipe thats left off and square with the bracket
    if it's not square with the bracket your t.s. will be crooked
    you might want to check ebay for hayabusa rear signals, same mounting but o e m quality clear lens with yellow bulb and they go cheap

    Razz1969 - That is awesome. I'm going to give it a whirl man! I'll put up pics when it's done. My light don't look like the ones in the pic I put up. That was just an example of the stem. Mine are actually a bullet style. Picked them up very reasonable on ebay. After shipping and insurance I got a set of 4 for $29.98.

    Wesley, were they from an Ebay shop bud? Or just a 2nd hand pair? If from a trader, have you got a link to them as it might help folk out who are looking?
