ugly (well for the moment)
 
not me (well OK then, but I can't do anything about that).

the tiny chrome aftermarket indicators after 15 months have given up the ghost.

These

So I've fitted a couple of SV rears for now

But ordered a pair of these to replace them.

I has a set of them on my Bandit, well weird bulbs in them and i couldnt get a replacement from round by me, so i changed them for a different set, nice quality set though.

they had a well weird fitment the bulbs did, they were bayonet but not 180 or 90 degree fitment. i went to 5 different bike shops by me and none of them could help

your might be different tho, and the only reason my bulb blew was the numpty who owned them before fitted them by twisting the wires together, and they shorted and blew the bulb

I've lost count on the number of aftermarket indy's I've tried out. They're all crap really.

Problems like....
drain holes on the top! :roll: (no, they weren't on the wrong side of the bike!!!!)
rusted reflectors made of pressed tin
rusty lens screws
crap orange coating on only half the bulb
just too damn dim to be seen
rubber stalk perished
wires too thin and melted their insulation

Arghhhh :evil:



The eagle-eyes looked a better quality than most, ahh well another to avoid.

Allycators are usually £30 a pair so worth trying at less than half price.

rusty lens screws

This, and the right rears not lasting, is the only problem I've had with the Motrax oval ones with the traditional lamp- not a bad reflector, and the diffusor works not badly at all. Still going to change for something else, Daytona or Buell, though.

Just fitted the new indies, impressed with the quality not chromed steel, but billet alu, by the way they are constructed, you could replace the wiring,bulb & holder without removing the lens and unscrew the whole housing.

Actually had the price tag on them £29.99
