Flush front indicators
 

After writing out a long winded description i figured a picture would be better.

I'm after these:

Anyone got any ideas how / where? I don't like how the fronts ruin the line of the bike. Sure, these will be much harder to see but at least i'll look cool in a heap on the floor.

thanks

Give Demon tweeks a go, they usually stock a large number of indicators.

I know what you mean about the indicators and the fairing though and it makes sense, though you have to strike a balance between being seen and looking good :?

Also, you have to find flush-moutns big enough to cover the big honkin' hole in the fairing. The big ugly Motrax ones work, as do the cheapo non e-marked ones M&P sell. I'm filling the holes on my spare panels to take the smaller Motrax e-marked ones...

North,

Everytime i think of doing something to my bike your name pops up. You're going to have to let me have some decent pictures of your bike mate, she must be lovely.

On a less OT note, won't fillers plus smaller motrax ones result in a lot of unneeded creases etc?

It actually looks a bit of a mess... Lots of cool things done but no attention to detail. First thing people notice is the GSR front, second thing they notice is that the undertray's held on with bungee cords :) This is probablythe best shot I've got of it still.

I'm not using spacers- I'm plugging the holes with isopon before my respray. Well, I've done one, Big Al did the other one. Looks really nice... I'm thinking of putting on a pair of indicators on each side as part of an ongoing theme, we'll see.

These the big ugly flush ones? http://www.mandp.co.uk/productInfo.aspx?catRef=526818

I can't find the smaller ones

What about this sort of thing :?:

M&P site's not working but there's basically 2 options that work that I now of, without filling the holes. There's the great big Motrax ones, as sold pretty much everywhere. Ugly but pretty effective I think... Or there's the flat ones that look a bit like a car's side repeaters. Also a bit ugly and not so effective. The wee Motrax ones are nicer IMO but don't cover the holes so they'd look bad unless you work something out for that.

Those look like a really bad idea to me :)

ive just put the motrax ones on mine, i cut a rubber o-ring down to the right lenght to fit round the inside of the hole in the fairing, then just stuck on the new indys with the rubber covering the gaps. its not perfect but doesnt notice really!

ill put pics up later/tomorrow :D

hope thats helpful!

That looks really good! I never even tried fitting them, just presumed than no matter what it'd look bad.

Rob, thanks for the pictures, looks good (almost identical to my bike.) One question, are they e-marked? I'm trying to keep my bike semi MOT friendly (twin straight through carbon underseat cans will be enough trouble)

They're e-marked now... Careful you don't get old stock though.They're horribly put together- work well as indicators but they're prone to vibrate apart it seems. Maybe the e-marked ones have been upgraded.

Now why doesn't it ever mention whether they're e-marked or not. Useless.

i didnt actually check if they were! :oops:

id trust northwind tho, ill check mine later too.

RoB

T'be honest, I doubt it'll make any difference- I've got a set of old ones before the e-mark, and a set of new ones, and they seem basically identical. I doubt Mr MOT will pay that much attention, they're really concerned with visibility and function more than little stamps on bits of plastic in my experience. Better to have non-marked indicators that are visible than e-marked ones in a stupid place.
