Oh well, I guess I shouldn't complain for $38.
c.d. turn signals will fill that area in

Honk... do I have to change the entire turn signal? Is there a drop-in LED bulb I can buy to replace what's in my stock turn signals?

The led incerts will go right in. No need to molest hardware.

two things going on here:
  • my light is aimed high (i do that) and
  • my turn signals are pointed/aim outward (the two light sources you see behind/bellow the wisamic beam on the vid)

Walter White huh? Breaking Bad was filmed and based about 45 minutes from here. Crazy that Albuquerque is actually how they depict it in the show. One of the Nation's leading cities for homicide per capita and number 1 in auto theft. Gotta love good ole Albuquerque NM! Sorry off topic. Your bike sounds sweet by the way.
