Just gaffer the indicators to something. Mirrors aren't held on the side panels, just through them, they actually bolt onto subframe.

no probs with the mirrors plastics arnt required they can still bolt on and you can knock up something for the indicators

I believe motorcycles aren't required to pass pedestrian safety tests.. certainly not looking at the Metalic blue and silver 'Busa that's often parked outside the H-Cafe... DAMN sharp bar ends, loads of spikes, NOS, etc etc...

I'm not sure if gaffa taped on indies will pass and MOT (I could be wrong here though). Just knock up a bracket and bolt them on...
