Help - Front indicator repositioning...

hooley · 09-Apr-2006, 17:18

All,

Just got some lovely spangly new carbon-fibre air-tubes...... one slight problem - where do I put the indicators???

I know you can get ones that have provision for mounting them in the original position, but I didn't get those. So...

Just made some brackets to hold some aftermarket ones and attached them to the lower headlamp/fairing mounting screw, as I dont want to (and can't - there's no room to) cut the carbon.

Anyone know of any more subtle mounting method?
Subtle lights in the mirrors? Do they have to be EU regulated?

Cheers
Jas

I had some led ones that i fitted behind the mesh in my front mudguard. Worked ok. However i decided to ditch them completely. Much prefer the look of the bike without any whatsoever.

yes, but they're on my old scratched bike

i seem to recall seeing some aftermarket 916 fitment (but not 916 style) mirrors with build in indicators on eBay recently. have a squizz. if you find some, post up the link please as i'm thinking of getting some carbon tubes.

I just (carefully) drilled indicator holes in the same position as on the standard tubes - works fine.
