Oh this come up fairly regularly, it's illegal, will fail an MOT and you very well may get some hassle from plod, on the other hand, in addition to normal indi's, and in some areas you may get away with it ?

Up to you really.

Cheers Mark.

Just stack up on the illegals/useless and you will be fine

Indicators have to be a minimum of 240mm apart, which your undertray ones wont be and these certainly are not.

And you are only allowed to have one flasher per side at the back.

Speaking of back - to the drawing board with you

Just ordered a set from local bike shop to go with my roca undertray due to visability of the indys on the undertray as discussed.

I'm willing to give it a go.

One of the guys at LBS had some fitted plus using his standard indys. Worked well and he has been fine with them so far.

They was clear enough to see aswell but i dont know how bad the undertray indys are yet. I've paid £60 aswell but not too bothered as they will show me how to fit them as you need to split the indicator wire i think to get them hooked up with the indys working.

Girth mate. Believe me the undertray indies on there own are completely useless! I might as well not have them on the bike. Some people i ride with keep getting caught out when i indicate! As they just cannot see them.

I have been thinking of spraying them in and putting some little arrow ones on

Yeah i've been thinking along the llines of that. Filling them in and some how fitting some indys into the mounting holes. I'll have to see what its like when i get it but i've got a new pair of ally cnc indys in the garage that might go on instead.

You got a pic of it fitted?
