Kiki's Monster 696 got some new luggage last year, but that means that the combination of the luggage, the fender eliminator, and the exhaust doesn't allow for the OEM rear signals to be fitted.
I plan to build a bracket for the rear plate (that is currently on a pretty severe angle due to the luggage) that will have a vertical lip at the bottom so a couple of LED strips can be fitted to replace the stock signals. This will be better than the OEM ones anyway, because you can't see them behind the pipes. I wanted something very low profile to keep the clean look of the bike, but also not one of these nutty $150/signal setups.
I have ordered a set of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015H90NBO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but the OEM signals are incandescent lights, so I have to include some resistors, but I can't find anything definitive for the ohm rating I need to shoot for. I know these get hot, I plan to mount them to the bracket I will build to go behind the license plate - this would aid in cooling the resistors with air flow and the bracket itself would act as a heat sink.
(Also, I know that these are 50/50 white and amber, I'm just going to wire up the amber portion - if she doesn't like them or we swap them out down the road, I can use them on the X for rock lights or interior lights.)
