Melted my left rear signal off last weekend :bash

what has been your solution? Looking for ideas, since I know it'll happen again with stockers in place.

Bill, this is totally normal. I solved my problem by getting smaller rubber mounted turn signals. Ugly, but works.

For some strange reason, this issue does not affect all bikes. From the factory, some exhausts are pointed higher than others. You may be able to loosen the exhaust bolts and angle it down and re-tighten.

If you want to retain the factory 'look' the turn signals are the same ones from the Ducati 748/916/996/998 bikes and various other Italian marquees.

I just remembered that I have an extra OEM turn signal off my bike (one melted, the other is fine) if you want it, let me know and you can have it for free.

My LV full system melted my signal. Like I said, it only seems to occur on certain bikes. I know Quasi888 didn't have that problem on his bike.
