It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Be careful with the cheap ones from China the quality is not always that good. I have had problems with the wiring internally on Cheap Chinese ones before and you will find yourself going through bulbs.

Depends if you want car drivers to see when you are indicating, or not.

The cheap ones don't have a reflective background, which can be improved with a bit of foil, but I have replaced my originals on the back as I want people to see when I am indicating.

I had a set of these...

J&S accessories very bright & have a LED tip flasher as well so visible from the side. Don't forget you will need a LED relay as well otherwise flash rate is wrong.

I don't know if the left hand one survived the crash or is even in the bin bag with the rest of the fairing, other than that I had no issues with fit or function.

Sorry there are no bins in the pic... :lol:

Bloody hippie.
Is there no depth to which you will not stoop?


It was all downhill for Marty once patchouli joss sticks were in a half-price sale in the late eighties.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Had some of those in the past. Bulbs are delicate and kept blowing presumably due to v twin vibrations.

Many indicators that size even the led ones are a problem to see in bright sunlight.
