What a difference to the standard ones.
They are a perfect fit - they overlap the holes ~ 2mm.

Now all that's left is fitting the braided lines(yellow sleeve :lol: ) and the Ohlins Decals on my fork legs :wink:


I had to completely slaughter the original indicator brackets in order to be able to fir these. But why would i want to change back to those ugly things anyway :lol:


You can get them from Rumble Import -Canadian based. Ordered on saturday - arrived tuesday. Amazing Service!

Make sure you have a good pair of side cutters.

Just keep trying to fit them - then cut a bit more.

I'd say i had to cut about half of the original indicator bracket away.

TBH I'd rather keep the standard fit. Whilst I like the flush fit, and they're more aesthetically pleasing, I'd find them difficult to see.

Agreed. After riding out with people with tiny indicators, I'm not fitting any to my bike. Reducing the distance between them means other people have to think longer about which way you're actually indicating/going to turn, rather than just 'knowing' as you do with normal indicators. If I, as a biker who is actually paying attention, have to think about which way someone is indicating, even after riding behind them for 5/10 minutes, how can your typical dozy cager be expected to tell, the first time they see them?

That said, they do look like and on a show bike/road legal race bike, they would definately be the way to go.

They are perfectly legal for the UK i checked with a MOT guy. The Space between them is not reduced by much.

And these are FRONT indicators so what's all that fuss about a cager behind u doesn't see where you are going :?: :lol:


On another note: I just received my new back indicators (clear Arrows) which I'm going to fit now.

I really like em but not gonna fit em as cage drivers can barely see stalks let alone the flush mount ones
