View Full Version : Pulled one side light off rear.
Well when putting my bike through my gate i took the back light off and snapped the bolt. Are there some realy short indicators without any stump?
should have done that lifesaver... :wink:
not sure what you mean, but motrax do the indicator tidys - that might replace the part where the bolt goes.
if not - they do flat indicators (intended for the front) but im sure you could adapt them to fit on the rear.
my honda's indicators snap on and off - so when i do that - they just pop back onto the bike :)
I was looking at some motrax ones that look much shorter than the ones i curently have.
Will drop down to infinity in the morning and get a set.
just a quick tip.
personally i wouldnt go for motrax.
search about on the web and there are some companys that make the exact same ones as motrax for about a tenner less.

TSM ---J ust get the mini ones,you can get clear or orange lenses,I,ve done exactly the same when the garage door blew shut with the wind
When you buy them decide what you realy want beacause one fits all
i.e. I fitted 4 and bought another set as spares and all interchangeable
also get the little filling blanks that are designed for the SV light fitting
Then it is just a matter of connecting the wires up[one has a slight colour trace in it],so if you dont have bullet connectors get a dozen while you are there
Hope this helps
Cheers Mac
P.S. price about £20 per set with the bits so you can judge if it is worth buying on line to save a few pence ,or get them today and be back on the road
cost me £28 for one front indicator!

Hum, I'd recommend the Motrax minis-with-bulbs over anyone elses, I've tried all the readily available ones (for some reason the right rear one keeps on cracking and falling off, vibrations and heat maybe) and the Motrax ovals, which I use, have a far better reflecter than the HG or Oxford ones. Plus almost all of their range is now e-marked. The mini-ovals, rounds and arrows all come in long and short stalk.
Don't know enough about LED ones to comment on what's best, I had a set of big HG ones, but I crashed them. Wasn't too keen on them in the first place.
Got myself some cators. At the moment i have the light being held on by some string so plod does not stop me for having no light.
I am going to rewire all the indicators because the last guy did not seem to know much about connectors. He just stripped the wire, twisted them and put some tape on.

I haven't had a light since I put on the undertray & plod don't seem interested. Keep meaning to get LED bolts or something reasonably subtle.
