Default Flush front indicators

After writing out a long winded description i figured a picture would be better.

I'm after these:

Anyone got any ideas how / where? I don't like how the fronts ruin the line of the bike. Sure, these will be much harder to see but at least i'll look cool in a heap on the floor.

thanks

Give Demon tweeks a go, they usually stock a large number of indicators.

I know what you mean about the indicators and the fairing though and it makes sense, though you have to strike a balance between being seen and looking good

Also, you have to find flush-moutns big enough to cover the big honkin' hole in the fairing. The big ugly Motrax ones work, as do the cheapo non e-marked ones M&P sell. I'm filling the holes on my spare panels to take the smaller Motrax e-marked ones...

North,

Everytime i think of doing something to my bike your name pops up. You're going to have to let me have some decent pictures of your bike mate, she must be lovely.

On a less OT note, won't fillers plus smaller motrax ones result in a lot of unneeded creases etc?

It actually looks a bit of a mess... Lots of cool things done but no attention to detail. First thing people notice is the GSR front, second thing they notice is that the undertray's held on with bungee cords This is probablythe best shot I've got of it still.

I'm not using spacers- I'm plugging the holes with isopon before my respray. Well, I've done one, Big Al did the other one. Looks really nice... I'm thinking of putting on a pair of indicators on each side as part of an ongoing theme, we'll see.

M&P site's not working but there's basically 2 options that work that I now of, without filling the holes. There's the great big Motrax ones, as sold pretty much everywhere. Ugly but pretty effective I think... Or there's the flat ones that look a bit like a car's side repeaters. Also a bit ugly and not so effective. The wee Motrax ones are nicer IMO but don't cover the holes so they'd look bad unless you work something out for that.

ive just put the motrax ones on mine, i cut a rubber o-ring down to the right lenght to fit round the inside of the hole in the fairing, then just stuck on the new indys with the rubber covering the gaps. its not perfect but doesnt notice really!

ill put pics up later/tomorrow
