Default Turn signals as brake lights?

I posted this in the softail forum also, but makes more sense here...

Anyone know of a kit to make the rear turn signals act as the brake light and turn signals? I want to entirely eliminate the bulky red light and plate holder on the bobtail fender, maybe even chop of a few inches off the fender behind the seat. Any help isappreciated, and pics if you got em!

I have the official HD kit as well. Each bike I own has one installed on it. I like them...makes me feel a little safer and hopefully the idiot behind me sees the light.

One module did burn out on me though. When it does burn out, you have no brake lights at all. It gives you no warning and you have no idea if they are working or not. So, make sure they are working from time to time.

Just a heads up, make sure any light you chose are DOT approved as Brake lights. If not you may get someunwanted attention fromthe law. The factory turn signals are not DOT approved as the SOLE brake light. You will need at least one DOT approved BRAKE light. I've seen it doneand if you are alway on the right side of the law when driving your scooter probably not an issue. I just hate giving them a reason to pull me over any time they want.
