heh ... 1st good luck: Ebay is probably the best source for one. There aren't many around and when they go, they go for a mint. I lucked out and found just the lens, but still spent $75USD on it. I haven't seen the whole kit got for less than $200USD on ebay.
If you can hook up a lens, it's pretty easy to make the conversion with a pair of aftermarket flush-mounts (which is what I did). Somewhere I write it up, recently ... lemme find it and I'll post the link ...

another alternative to a full-on euro turn signal conversion could be to put some form of universal bulb socket into the sides of the rear housing and have red blinkers. just a thought.

Yeah, I wound up with just a Euro lens and not the whole assembly, but the 'surgery' involved to get it hooked up very minimalistic. A couple holes in the black plastic pieces inside the lens to mount aftermarket flush mount signals to, and a slightly enlargened hole on either side on the back of the unit to pass the wires though. I used the same style connectors so I could easily switch back to stock - and even leave the aftermarkets in there.

Hmmmm.....rather strange. From what I am reading and understand, the '87 Paso 750 that I picked up the other weekend came originally with the Euro light on it, but with a solid red lens, according to the previous owner. He said that with the red lens, you couldn't see the turn signals very well, so he installed some small, aftermarket signals with short stalks on the mud guard. I currently have the taillight lens off of the bike, and there is definitely a light socket on each side of the assembly for turn signals, and the lens has two inserts to separate the turn signals from the taillight/brake light. I didn't pay any attention to whether they looked original or were a modification, but I was actually thinking of hooking them back up, either with or without the aftermarket signals.
