Fancy indy for a curvy
 
Stupid problem, my front indy's are in the way of my camera while mounted on the crash bung ( i know more it )

but it got me thinking about flush mounted indy's

Those nice folks make some cute indy's for the K3+ 650 and thousands but it seems they dont make them for curvey's

Any decent alternates people would recommend

They actually look pretty neat and noticeable. I just bought some mirror ones though and at £40 a pair work out about £60 cheaper*!



*im crap at exchange rates

They look really neat but £80 is quite steep...

Do you have any mods to your fairing or is it standard?

Here's what my SV used to have as front indy set up

LHS indy on

What I had was cat eye indies where the standard indies were and had some flexi LED strips in the holes on the front of the fairing as the side ones weren't too visible from the front.

You could easily do something similar, use small indies on the side that sit flush and maybe some flexi indies at the front somewhere. I think Rictus had a similar sort of set up a log while ago but he drilled and mounted half a dozen LEDs on the top fairing near the mirror mounts IIRC

Just noticed I'm a poet and I don't know it :p


I've got indicator blanks which are identical to those indicator blocks. I could just drill some holes and put LED's in. Is there a similar thing for the curvy that you could use?

No I don't think there is anything like that for the curvey

That's what I found as well hence having the extra LEDs at the front
