Which indicators? - SV650.org

31-03-06, 08:46 PM

Ok...as some of you may have read my new bike had a wee wobble in the wind on Monday and as a result had smashed offside front indicator (we won't discuss the fairing, wing mirror, or exhaust again)..

I have decided not to replace with the standard indicators so am going to buy some after market ones!

I really like the LED diamond ones but am not confused that you can get two types. Long stem and short stem? Are long stem for front, and short for rear or is it just to options for visibility/poseability?

Also, I've read I may have to fit a different relay as replacing the standard ones with LED/different ones can cause the flash rate to increase? Will this happen?

I had a look at the Motrax ones today which are like (£30 mind..blimey)? Any other suggestions?

As always, your assistance is appreciated!

RSCOSWORTH has Watt Design front LED indicators which look excellent on his blue SV1000S. I dont know if they do rear ones

Cool....

But what about on my YELLOW Gixxer6???

And still confused about the short stem/long stem???

They are shaped to fit flush into the hole vacated by the oem indicators and are colour coded with several LED's inlaid I dont have a photo to show you or an URL to look up

FFS get ones other people can see. These micro things are all well and good but if others can't see them - well what's the point? Safety is a paramount issue here, looking cool comes a poor second.

I may be wrong (usually I am)

Not my week me thinks...

Bought some LED indicators (long stalk ones), got home, took the smashed indicator off and found I need to buy special blanking plates for the K4! Nightmare....

The only place that stocks em near me is closed tomorrow, so can't even go for a ride out....GUTTED! Arrgghh!

Oh well...hopefully it will rain tomorrow so won't be disappointed but knowing my luck now its gonna be glorius sunshine!
