removing cover broke a turn signal stalk

Anyone have an specs on the turn signal on the Girly? I caught one with the cover and snapped it near the base.

I didn't take off the broken one to measure, etc, and I was wondering about getting a more compact signal stalk that mounts with an 8mm bolt/nut.

I see some interesting ones out there on fleabay.

Be careful: Tiger direction indicator/turn signal stems are flexible. Most aftermarket items I've come across are not. Therefore, if you use items that don't flex, the next hit you take on one of them may rip whatever the mounting bolt goes through. I bought a pair to replace an OEM item I bust on the front in-fill panel when I dropped my bike. I quickly realised that if I dropped the bike again, I might end up with a damaged in-fill panel too, not just a turn signal stem. I went and bought an OEM item. As usual, my cheap fix ended costing me more - a knack I have.

Just my $0.02

Thanks for the input.

These look flexible. But will require a resistor to blink correctly...
