Flush fit indicators, prob

[Steve97]

I quite like these indicators as they seem to fit well in/on the fairing, however thats all very well but they tend to blink at a rapid rate, any ideas


The bulb is 12v 10w



am not particully electrically minded, so go easy on me fellas !!

They're LED's, not bulbs, and so you need to wire a resistor in line on the power side between the indicator and the bike.

You can get them form any bike shop, and Hein Gericke.

Alternatively a new flasher relay designed for LED's as well as normal bulbs.

where did you get the indicators fella????

A wee pic of them fitted would be cool too.

[Jester666]

Say you have LEDs at the front and standard bulbs at the rear will the flash rates be correct if you fit an uprated/LED relay?

[Jazzscot]

Yes they will, I had an all in one rear light with indicators and I fitted the new relay, flash rate worked perfectly as still had standard ones on the front.

They came from A B Jones M/C Spares through eblag, havent quite mastered the link thing yet so here s the item number 160701860487, when the relay arrives will fit and post pics, have offered one up and, well, not sure to be honest , whatever, was only a tenner

I think those are medium cat's eye indicators, they are too small for the hole in the fairing, you may need to buy the large ones.

[Steve97]

Thanks for the info Tony, relay on its way.
Have already tried one in/on to see if it fits and seems ok, but yeah, its a close run thing

Indicators now fitted just to get an idea of what it looks like


Dosent look too bad, might need a little bit more messing about though

[Jazzscot]

Yeah the clear kinda works with the yellow, Im not sure if it would work with the red.

Im sure hellride said peugeot 307 sidelights work too

might look into these.

Do you think that oncoming traffic would see the indicators ok???

In a group ride situation a storm with that style fitted on the rear bodywork due to having hi-pipes IMHO has about 20-30% indicator visibility compared to standard. Though tempted cosmetically to tidy up OEM = pragmatically I'll retain the existing fittings - things are hard enough with the 'I didn't see you' mob not to give them more of an excuse not to see an optician.

That's why I use the teardrop ones like these:

They stand slightly proud, and can more easily be seen from the front.
