For the sake of pising about, get the indy spacers - about £6.

My Motrax leds came with resistors as well, but they were crap.

Maplins do resistors for less than 50p each - might be worth getting a couple just incase.

the motrax indys do come with resistors but i found i needed 2 sets of the resistors to make them work. i made some new brackets from some aluminium i bought from B&Q took about 1/2 an hour to make and fit didnt cost much either. used the original brackets as templates.

There are only 2 suzuki ones - the SV ones are the same as the gixxers I think

Or, you can just stick a bit of plastic against the back of the indicator holes using the original indicator brackets, then poke a hole in it and bolt the indicator to the plastic... Takes about 5 minutes, and works really well.
