I think it's worth $60. There are some threads over on KLR650.net on this. I think the pre 08 kits are better because the bigger turn signal housings allow more LED's.

I just checked the spare OEM rear signal I have and it has two (2) indexing
pins on the stalk base . . . so . . . makes each one universal (fits any
position and can be properly oriented).
WHY does 'everyone' keep thinking/insisting on the 'stalks' for the Rear ??
I got my 2003 vintage machine and the rear signals are 'smallish',
rectangular {1x2in} units attached {vertically}to the bottom {outer
corners}of the rear rack. Work just fine, and have passed annual State
inspections.
I had to replace one . . . the lamp holder had rusted out . . . and the only
problem was there were SO MANY to choose from !! About $12 for a 'set' {of
approximately the same size} -could have gone larger & Round- but preferred
this 'neat, OEM look'.
Regards & Good Luck,

Geez Ron, we're just trying to help. I thought that we were talking about the OEM units or the look-alike less expensive aftermarket replacements you see on eBay. All have the OEM style stalks/stems/branches/trunks/roots (Sorry, I'm a biologist that worked in a boat yard for 365 days - I counted).
I'm sure LED trailer lights would pass state vehicle inspection and be more visible than the OEM incandescent lamps. It's all about what "floats your boat" and is still legal.
