Default Massive Front indicators SK3

I was buying some petrol the other day and whilst in the queue I was looking at my bike and those front indicators just looked huge and they have to go, but have not found anything as yet that looks any good. I like the idea of the front side light conversion but not convinced it’s that safe. A sort of nicely fitting smallish flush mount is my thinking at the moment. Has anyone changed there front beacons for something a bit more stylish and has picks for me to have butchers at, that would be great.

Cheers

Just bought some from here: http://www.rumbleimport.com/store/Sc...?idCategory=41
Will hopefully be fitting them this weekend, i've just gotta get some decent electrical connector blocks! Photo's to follow but it all looks ok out of the packet.

Check these options out... I bought my LED's from these people to replace my 5 watt bulbs that came with my ROCA 'cator coversion kit (coz they were too dim,) but the LED's are fine - If you're worried about people seeing them from the side, then you can always fit the side units too

Fitted the front rumble import indicators, and i have to say although the quality and service from them was fine, the brightness is not!! Blanking plugs are supplied without holes so could be used instead of a roca kit! Have since wired in my side light bulbs too but still the flash rate is to fast!!! AAHH! Whats the best solution(think in total i've got about 10w), resistor or flasher unit? Photo's to follow!!

About ratings, I dunno, you'll need to find out the current wattage & do the maths I'm afraid
