EBay is best, or Amazon offers MANY choices!

You could buy from an online "biking" store, however it's likely to be the same 'Chinese' LED indicators  (as ebay) with an extra £20 added to the price.

I personally would buy from Amazon and make sure to check all reviews as like has been said most of the indicators are the same no matter where you buy them just different prices. The last set I bought from a uk supplier of china ones on eBay were coming apart when I had them and I had to clean them up and reseal them.

Also remember you'll need to change the relay to get the correct flash rate.

Good point! Plus alot of the "LED compatible" upgrade Relays will happily flash a combination of both LED and incandescent Bulbs, at the correct rate.
(ie: if you upgraded front indicators to LED, however still had the original Yamaha bulb type indications on the back).

The relay I picked up for this, the Pins inside the plastic connector were in the wrong positions - I had to move the pins around.
(even though the advert stated the Relay was plug and play on Yamaha motorcycles  >:)!
