To be fair the only similarity between this one and the 3 quid jobbie from Maplins is that they make a noise.
Personally I started out riding so paranoid about leaving my indicators on, that it's now ingrained in me and I never forget.I think my finger hovers over the button until it is cancelled. I even find myself in the habit of prodding the button every time I accelerate out of a turn. Yeah I'm a weirdo.I considered fitting a buzzer when I was first riding, but think it would annoy me at junctions... or not as I usually wear earplugs. I think if I had to fit something, I'd go for an ultra bright LED, mounted high on the dash, or into the mirrors.d

Thank you so much Fazerider Someone who's actually taken the time to read about the thing and what it does. Yes it's more expensive than the 3 quid Maplins buzzer but some things cost more cos they're better. Why aren't we all riding around on Chinese 125s in £25 helmets if cost is the ONLY consideration when we buy something?
I've not used that product and never would at that price £46I did fit one of these to a bike when I was youngerhttp://www.maplin.co.uk/p/wire-ended-piezo-buzzer-cr34m Basically the same thing as the muppets in the link are selling but only £3.
I wasn't slagging it off. I was just stating that the BASIC function of it can be had for a lot less money. Each to their own though, that's why some people buy Rolls Royces instead of Audi's.

You obviously move in different circles to me if you use Audis as an example of something cheap and basic as a comparison. They aren't the first Marque that comes to my mind.
