Rear fender license plate/turn signals question ....

Hey GTAM members...
I have few questions related to rear turn signals, license plate and wires, but let me start from the beginning...
I got hard bags for my bike with integrated turn signals.
Unfortunately, because of the location of the original blinkers, the bags had to be mounted a little bit too far to the front of the bike and every time I open and close them, my seat is getting pinched.
Anyway I thought that I can remove the original turn signals since the bags have working ones.
I kind of hit the wall and I'm stuck after I removed them.
In my bike (Yamaha VStar 1100 Classic) the turn signals' mount is integrated with license plate holder and also a small "box" behind the license plate that holds all the wires.

I was wondering if anyone have any suggestions what are my options... maybe one of you eliminated the turn signals in your bike and know exactly what I need to do... maybe there is a ready made solution that I can buy and simply install...maybe

One thing I am considering at this point, is to simply cut off the part of the mount that holds the signals.

Here are couple of pics so you can see what I have right now:

The hard bags likely have LED signals in them, which means after you remove your stick signals, it either won't blink at all or it'll blink super fast.

You can get a universal digital flasher relay from Royal for $20 and it'll blink perfectly, every time all the time, no matter what configuration of signals you have :)

It would be sweet if they made something like this, without the signals: http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/b...0650-royal-star-and-road-star/part/BA-3100-00

I checked the LEDs after I removed the stock signals and they are fine.
The bags came with either relays or some load balancer or something, so long story short, it looks like I'm covered with this issue.
I was just looking at that Baron's kit and I'm tempted to buy it.
I've read the manual and it is using stock turn signals, so I was thinking that I simply won't install it.
Still looking for other options.
