Hi guys, found this page ont 'tinternet. And wondered if anyone else has done this to their Curvy.

I think they look nice, but I'm not too sure if they will be less noticeable than sticky out indicators?

Not my bike, just a page I found on the internet.

Yeah i've done that, tbh they're not too bad. They're ok, a bit hard to see from the front during the day though I ended up putting some LEDs on the front of the bike just to make sure

cheers DD!
I also saw some little LED strips advertised on an American Website. They stick to the mirrors, and they wire into the indicator circuit. They look pretty cool. Just thin strips about 3/4 of a centimeter thick and about 7 centimeters long. Think they can be trimmed too if too long.
Thought about buying those and putting them on.

I got the LED indie strips off of ebay for about £15 i'll see if i can find a link

That is a driving light, much better for night riding cos the headlights are a bit poo :rolleyes: haven't got them fitted anymore

hmmm interesting. Not too sure about the LEDS in the hole though. But, if it helps be seen then not a bad thing.

Cheers for the pics!
