Indicators

[Ajaydave]

Where would I fit the actual indicators themselves, I,m puzzled, searching for suitable mounting points,

[dave16mct]

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.

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 ..

This is where I have mounted mine (work in progress though)

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

Thanks everyone, lots of good ideas,

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.
