Had a little accident and need to replace the front right indicator. Are they side specific or can i get either left or right side to replace it with?

Can't see specifically, but on Ebay they do tend to be all named either left or right so may as well just get the appropriate one.

As darrsi said get one on Ebay for the side you want,the stalks are the same but the lenses are sided as they have the word top on them why i'm not sure. :)

My current lense is okay, just the stalk that is knackered. Only decent ones on eBay appear to be left side.
So if my lense is okay i can get a left side and put my good right side lense on?

Is it worth moving your left indicator over to the right to see before you buy ?
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.

Are you sure the stalk is knackered and not just pushed in to the fairing.  It's held by a rubber grommet

Won't that make it wink in the wrong direction?!?  ;)

you are right...it has pushed through, the only problem is that the screw that secures the indicator plate is rounded off. I will end up having to grind the screw down.
