Bike fell, smashed indicator, not happy
Need some help folks. To cut a long story short my bike was sitting on some grass when it was nudged from behind by a now ex-friend of mine, the stand went up, bike went down and smahed the front left indicator. There's no other damage but it's annoying none the less.
I've been in touch with suzuki who want to charge me £30 for a new indicator but I reckon I can get a new one cheaper. Anyone able to point me to a reputable source? Also, I don't want to have to take the whole top fairing off to get at the bolts so is it possible to reach by taking off the black plastic panel underneath the front headlights? Cheers Laurie |

You can get second hand ones pretty cheap from people who have changed theirs to mini indicators, I don't know about brand new (pattern part) though.

Re: Bike fell, smashed indicator, not happy
Does it matter whether the indicator is from the left or the right hand side? I thought that the only thing that mattered was whether it was from the front or the rear.
Just wondering because I posted previously looking for a front right indicator and still haven't had any luck. thanks Ian |

Re: Bike fell, smashed indicator, not happy
Hey mate, its a wee bit fiddly but definitely possible to change the indicator just taking of the wee black panel. I've done it myself!! I got standard suzuki parts rather than swop them both. You should have the right spanners etc with the wee tool kit they give you on the bike. Good luck!!

Have you tried the people that are breaking their bikes on the site?
