Curvy indicator spacers
 
Ok, after a year of commuting on my lovely '99 650, I've decided to start on a few minor mods. One of the first changes is getting rid of the huuuuuge factory indicators.
So I've set up some short stem LED jobs on the back, and got hold of some generic flush mount indicators for the front. But as soon as I removed the front factory stalks I realised the problem: I need some specers.
Looking around I've found quite a few for pointy SV's, but I dont know if they would fit?
Any suggestions?

no these don't fit and ones for curvy's are hard to find listed. I got some off evil bay, but its the only pair I've seen.

But there are these indicators i the states which are for curvys.

Or you could trim down a set for a pointy or make your own using a template of the hole. They're only a couple of bits of plastic

They are from Motrax and you can get them from any Motrax dealer.

Cheers on that. I guess trimming a set is probably the best bet. Those flushmount lenses look pretty decen too. If my current setup doesnt work I might give em a shot.

Yeah Dave, those are what I'm looking at, but I dont think Motrax do them for curvy's. Oxford also do spacers but same problem again.

I've got a bit of practise with fibreglass, so I'm thinking I might make a stencil of the gap and try a set of my own.......

I'm on 99 curvey too and the ones I fitted were listed as being for a TL1000, don't know if that helps?

They certainly do, and here is your answer....

all the motorbike shops near me sell them, the packet actually doesnt say sv 99-02 on the back for some bizarre reason! it has various other suzuki models listed just not the sv. the newer models are listed on the other packets with different shapes. however when i opened the packet and tested it in the shop they fitted perfect and were obviously for my bike.

they were £4.99

Sweeeeeeeet!!!
Thanks for da heads up, I'll give them a go. Do they sit flush with the fairing body or do they leave a small recessed gap?

There is a bit of a recess but could easily be sorted. I didn't bother as I'm not overly concerned and I think it looks good as it is.
If you want I'll try and get a pic for you.
