Re: Indicators
The most popular mounting for front indictors is on an extended headlamp bolt similar to the earlier sidelights. Some put them on a badge bar, or clamp on the handlebars or fairing. At the rear fix to the rear number plate mounting, on a rear rack, or a bracket on the 2 lifting handle bolts or on a topbox. I've just fitted them to my Model 20, using extended headlamp bolts. It's a turning exercise on the lathe. Hex stainless bar turned down and threaded 5/6" BSCY. Then drilled and threaded M10 and finally drilled through for the wires. At the back I made a stainless bracket on the 2 lifting hande bolts to fix the indicators on. They're the chrome bullet type converted to LED and very effective.

Re: Indicators
For the front I have rearview mirrors with built in indicators, but these require 12v .. I thought about barend nirrors with indicators, but v expensive and require holes drilling in the handlebars for the wiring ..
I decided against near the headlight because I have noted that I find it difficult at times to see flashers against the headlights of some cars .. and I want mine to be well visible ..

Re: Indicators
Have you drilled through the headlamp threaded nuts to fit the 10mm indicators?

Re: Indicators
Dave....afraid so. Well actually reamed them out so as to fit the indicator stems. A bit drastic but I could still remove the indicators and fit the original headlamp bolts albeit with separate (not captive) nuts on the back.
