K6 indicators
 

About a week ago I noticed one of the rear indicators on my K6 had fallen off - the wire was still attached (and it still flashed) but the metal-to-rubber joint had failed. I glued it together with some 2 pack epoxy, which worked fine and looked at sourcing a replacement.

Genuine parts were quite expensive (around £20 for a single good second hand luminaire) so I ordered a set of 4 LED units for only £5.49 and a new relay for £8 (both delivered). The bits turned up quickly and an hour with a soldering iron had them fitted - I think the result is quite smart for about £14 complete:

Nice. Are they a decent brightness?

Re: K6 indicators
 

They seem pretty good - compared with the old incandescent ones - a much brighter light.

I bought the same ones on eBay for £4.19 for the set and put them on my curvy S. Definitely an improvement over the stock. Needed a flasher relay to control the rate.

A word of caution...these will fail just like your previous ones. The thread will eventually pull out of the rubber. Happened to 2 of mine just from general riding. Glue on the thread put them back in and so far so good. Can't really complain at that price though. Looks well

Yes, they do seem very smart and efficient for the money. I may order a spare set just in case one or two fail (they are so cheap it would make sense).

The best colour for pointy S bikes, too :)

Re: K6 indicators
 

I’ve just ordered 2 spares for only £2.98 - at that price it is worth just having them in the bits box in case one fails.

The silvery blue? Yes, I think you are right, it is a nice colour.
