A bit tricky to identify aftermarket indicators without a picture....

Yes stand behind your bike & you should be able to see them...

Seriously are the LED type or do they have bulbs in ?

There are 100's of different styles out there just find some you like...





Sorry I dont have a rear veiw of the bike & it's a pile of bits now so can't take one...

The indis I fitted were from J&S front & rears + you need a new flasher relay as they are LED's.

The above are the short stem for the rear, you need long stem ones for the front.

I had a set of those a long time ago, personally I don't think they are that good for others to see from behind in broad day light, especially when the sun is shining brightly, only my opinion I know.

These look similar, makes sure you check sizes before buying:-

Yeah get LED ones they are brighter.

Some brainstorming helps with ideas.

If you do go down the LED route then make sure you get an LED relay/ flasher unit to control the flash rate.

As usual i took no notice of er indoors when she told me it wasn't very bright how difficult is fitting an LED relay?

Easy peasey, You unplug the original one & plug the new one in the same plug. That's it.

Beware that there are two types of Honda relay with different plugs. IIRC you need the 3 pin version to fit the Storm, I will check on mine to be sure for you.

Be something like this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-INDICATOR ... 6587350%26


The only issue yo may have is mounting it as the standard one sits on the subframe just behind the R/R in one of those rubber 'sling' things the new one wont fit it. I put mine on the undertray with a self tapper.

Other than that it's plug & play.

Here you go...



This shows the position of the std flasher relay.



This shows the pins. Std is three pin & normally the unit would be mounted with pins at the bottom.
The white plug is the new unit, it will plug straight into the plug on the loom.



This shows where I have mounted the new unit, I have an undertray fitted so using a self tapper it doesn't show.
If you don't have an under tray you could mount it where the std unit fits but would have to drill a hole & use a bolt.

So to fit basically take off seat & seat plastics & all will be revealed on the right hand side of the bike. Unplug the std
unit fit the new one & it's done. Then just change you indi's & it's done. Flash away.

Thanks mac for your help, so basically if i put the new relay on i can put some led indicators on? on your picture it looks like there is only 2 pins, is that right?
