A warning: I've had two rear blinkies mounted on one of those adaptors fling themselves off the mount, hit the ground and explode after the rear tire hit admittedly egregiously large (6" wide, 3" deep) expansion cracks at 15+ mph. It seems that the moment or leverage of the very rearward location makes that adaptor rather insecure.
