09 TE after market blinkers?

[NewHuskyGuy]

Hey all,
I went this weekend to Ocotillo Wells and experienced my first broken blinker issue. I fell but actually kicked it off with my boot getting off! Husky blinkers are a little bulky so what is everyones choice for after market ones? KTM ones look like they flex and they tuck in better. LED would be cool also. I would appreciate the feed back. Thanks

I switched to these and am very happy with the results:

They needed an aftermarket blinker on my '08 to make the flash rate reasonable.

I have these too and am also very happy w/them. The have taken a beating and bounce back well. They also fit the lines of the bike better than the large stock ones.

I think you should break the stockers first...at least one of them.

I've only bent one so they're still good to go.

I just have cheap blinkers I picked up at CycleGear. I paid like $12 and they are flush so I mounted them on a couple pieces of flexible plastic and just bolted the plastic in the orginal spot. You can see the blinker just under the rear fender. The plastic is so flexable it can be completely folded under.

A "Coffee" idea from a while ago!

or you can do my mod.... swapping brackets and lifting them up and inwards.. works well.. also, i have broken 2 lens before i moved them up and in ! much safer now.. but yes, the newer models are horrid and bulky...

Thanks for the ideas everybody. I like both lights and i definately like the LED part! Are the relays hard to install?

The Electrosport relay is very easy to install. You have to change the connectors on the wires but other than that it's a breeze. I did notice that after I added the relay the blinker indicator on the speedo doesn't blink now it stays solid while the blinkers are on. I didn't put the relay on until I put the LED's all around. W/o the relay the lights just blink faster.

I remember that!

Anyone mind if I move this into common topics since it is about lights?

Here’s an older thread with some more ideas;

Go thru it and look for Nesbocaj‘s setup, I still think it’s the best setup you can have for the TE crowd

And here’s what I did but that’s more for the SM crowd;
