Default rear turn signals look like wings

The rear turn signals on my bike look like wings I hate them!
1. is there anyway I can get the stock ones closer to the bike maybe change the mounts?
2. do they sell any lights that look close to stock size that will tuck in close to the fender? thanks

Kury also makes strut end lights and some that are replacements for the originals that are smaller and mount closer.
There are also several other makers that make lights that fit nearly flat and farther forward on the strut and angled so they are visible from the side.
That's not a bad idea, maybe someone will see you sooner and avoid hitting you with them.
I have a set of shorter stock styled mounts in a box in the basement that I got off evil-bay for less than $20 to pull my lights in.
I just never the time to pull everything apart to get them mounted. Maybe this winter I'll have the time to do it.
So you have a few options available to you, its just going to be up to you which route you want to take.
I suggest you look through some of the on line parts catalogs from Custom Chrome, V-Twin, J&P, etc. You'll find lots of good ideas in them.
