Cheap Indicator Modification
 
For all those running standard Suzuki indicators, here is a cheap but effective mod.

Get 4 mince pies and eat them, saving the foil trays.
Wash the trays, cut the rim off of them and make a 'X' shaped cut in the centre of their bases.

Remove your indicator lenses and bulbs, push your new 'reflector' over the bulbholder and then put everything back together.

Hey presto, brighter indicators.

We used to do this years ago to old bikes whose rear light reflectors had become corroded, crinkly foil works well too.

Use any material that is more reflective than black plastic, which is just about everything!
