Flush mount indicators

Post by rattler »

I saw a really cute set of flush mount indicators on the back of a W plate blue storm riding down the Earls Court Road in London today.

They were sort of like a stretched triangle shape but the 2 "short" sides curved in towards each other - this isn't making ANY sense is it..

Is there anyone out there can a) make head or tail of what I'm saying and b) point me in the right direction to find some.

Thanks

Nope, not like that. These were flush mounted into the underside of the seat plastic and just looked fantastic. I've seen plenty of round or oval flush mounts but nothing that looked quite as good as these.

Sounds like an Ermax style undertray. They make them for a lot of bikes with the triangular indicators flush-mounted under the seat but I didn`t think that they did the Storm otherwise I would have got one ages ago...unless anyone knows different!
.... no more bike, divorce sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These were definitely mounted on the seat surround rather than an aftermarket undertray. I've been looking at everything I could find without success.................until I saw the wing mounted indicators on a Ford Focus & Mondeo on the M25 this morning - they are a similar stretched triangular shape but without the curves so close but no cigar. Will keep looking.

Yeah I know, but if I just happen to have a spare seat thingy laying around gathering dust it won't really matter about the holes - and they did look luverly so I thought I'd give it a shot.

On the bike today Ian?? No, me neither.

What i did was cut all of that tag and blinker crap off , then drilled holes in the tail light [on the back side]on the correct side mounting my blinker bulbs in the holes.Then mounted my tag on the underside of the fender near the front of the bike. Don't know if it is legal but the police may find it hard to give me a ticket.All you see on back view is my meaty dunlop.And believe me , all anyone see's is the back . WEEEEEEEEEEED !!!!!!!!

Yep,
Picture makes it clear.
'Tag' is not a term us Brits would understand.
The bike looks great - I'm not sure our British traffic cops would approve though.
