Installed some inexpensive LED stalk turn singles. I purchased them from Amazon with the following link.
Led Sequential Turn Signals w/ Running & Brake Lights

Install was simple but took some time to have it clean and dependable at the end. I cut the the connection wires off the discarded stock signals, soldered all connections and tidied them up with shrink wrap. For the running lights I ran an additional wire to power them from the 12v Auxiliary port located just above the motor. The break lights were a bit more work. I ended up tapping into the blue wire going to the rear break light housing. This can be found on the left side of the tail faring. I didn't remove the fairing. I just pulled the slack of the wire cut the shielding, soldered inline and used electrical tape to tidy it up. I would like to add if your going to attempt this yourself do not cut the wires on the discarded turn singles too short. Leave them full length and shorten the wires on singles you purchase. Remember these stalks are led and require a new relay to prevent hyper flash. It can be purchased from amazon in the link below.

First Impressions, I think they are nice looking but quality is utter junk. Only time will tell but one of the rear stocks is already sagging. I do like the day time running lights on the front stocks. It goes well with the halo ring on the headlight. Once turn signal is enabled the running light shuts off and the amber sequential led start. I found this to work quite well and and pleased with the install and fitment. The rear however is not as pleasant. Normal running they are off. Once the breaks are engaged they do a red rapid flicker then land solid red. I think the strobing effect is a bit cheesy. Once turn signal is enabled the break light shuts off and the amber sequential led start. Here is a couple of videos clips of them in action.

How bright are the blinkers?
Meh. I check them out on a bright day by parking the bike in my driveway and seeing how far i could go before it was unnoticeable. I could still make them out at 40 yards so I was good. It was not a beacon of light but noticeable.
 
Visible or invisible, that is the question

Like my lights brite, so all potential non-cell phone using motorists and pedestrians can mooove... and at 40 yards that gives em a good one seconds time to do so when traveling at typical 'pilen speeds.

What's up BISavage, got an update for you. Went riding with a couple of friends yesterday and the verdict is they are not bright enough for day time running. That sucks, back to the hunt to find some nice bright stalks.
 
Bummer.

Some SV guys mentioned that the Rizoma ones are good, I have never seen them in r3al li4e though.

 
I did it this way...
Seemed bright enough to me... but YMMV. They are just turn signals, no running lights or brakes.
