This modification was done quite sometime back. The original concept was found in Hayabusa.org forum. Pictures were also taken from there. I've decided to go that way as I was utilising an aftermarket undertray thus there was no proper place to mount the signal lights.
I, personally was not a fan of small "invisible" flush mount signal lights. Screw the so-called "sleek" looks; the signal light was mounted for one function and one function alone - to indicate to the other road users the intentional to change lane/turn. What's the point of mounting a signal light if the other road users still have to guess if you are intending to change a lane? You're better off with no signal light mounted, also that'll be real sleek.
Therefore, the first thing I did when I've gotten my bike back then was to remove the flush mounts and replaced it with a much more prominent signal light. Subsequently, I got hold of a pair of clear cover K6 signal lights from the States. And I got on to doing this mod and mounted it up.
1. Remove the rubber stem from the signal light unit by unscrewing a screw behind the clear cover.
2. Check and confirm the mounting position of the signal
3. Grind off the excess plastic using and electric grinder or saw.
4. Using a piece of sandpaper, smoothen the finish of the signal mount
5. Mark the location for drilling the holes for the wire
6. Connect up the wires and drill a hole in the undertray for mounting the screw
7. Tighten the screw and fix up the clear cover
8. Repeat the steps for the other side
9. Check if the signals work. And voila! Nice and sleek signal light mounting.
