the oaf

I lost an indicator on the way home tonight.

I'd received a set of flush micro indicators a little while back from Airtech in California, but only got around to fitting them just over two weeks ago when I had some time off.

Got home tonight to find the left hand one had come off the bike - it looks like the sticky pad that came with it failed, and the wind speed then tore the pod from the wiring (which is now hanging out nicely from the hole).

Does this sound like a case for me to ask for a replacement indicator, on the grounds that some part was defective as the thing only stayed attached to the faring for just over a fortnight, or is it a case of c'est la vie?

Considering the pain in the **** it was to get shipped to the UK in the first place, I'm really ****ed off.
