I know they are required, by GA law, but I wonder if I could replace them with some sort of lights? What's everyone thoughts?

I'm amazed by the amount of people that spend time and money on turn signal upgrading... You need 'em on the street. And you're gonna want them to be completely visible to the traffic around you. They're almost the last mod on any street bike for mine.
Save your money and put it towards better tires or suspension upgrades, at the end of the day your trick blinkers are still going to do the exact same thing as the stock ones in exactly the same way.

Camo your statement is Not entirely true, most aftermarket signals i have seen lately are barely visible in the day and therefore not as good as stock. Following a guy with some tiny little LED signals yesterday, could only see them blink when i was 50ft from him or less. Camo is right , spend $$$ on something that improves the bike.

I've got a friend who bought a set Piaa 1100's lamps. They are 3 watt led's. They would draw a lot less current than the stock lights, but I'm guessing they'd have to be three wire to blink, but they would offer better visibility for me and on coming traffic. Are there adapters to make the install flush? Mod some washers and paint black.

Thanks for the help guys. They sort of remind me of the R1's headlights and are brighter.

I was checking out the head light assb and I think I've come up with a good solution. Directly above the OEM front blinkers there is a bolt, with some spacers I would be able to bolt up the lights and have turn signals below too. It might look a little busy right there if you know what I'm talking about, so if I was to install the lights I might still go with some aftermarket signals, plus maybe do the hid upgrade to the OEM headlight.
