Short Stem Rear Indicators
« on: 09 December 2013, 05:32:25 pm »
Help!!!

I've acquired a Givi Wingrack 2 (no indicators) with a fitting kit for my W reg 2000 FZS 600 - £75 off of Flea-Bay!

It fits perfectly with the exception of the rear indicators fouling the inside of the pannier mounts.

I found a thread that said the 1998 R1 rear indicators have the same mount as the FZS 600 but were about 2cm shorter and that they were going cheap on Busters.  I now can't find this for the life of me since the site move.

Found them, bought them and they're the same length...

Does anyone out there know of any rear indicators that I can fit that have the same mounting type but have a shorter stem?

Cheers

I could be mistaken but I thought you could fit the front indicators to the rear and they are noticeably shorter.

Cheers, I was thinking that but the same post mentioned the wiring was too short...

I could always give it a shot and see what happens lol.

Front indicators would work - the wiring should reach and its no big shake to extend if it don't.
 
I to fitted shorter indicators to use paniers - I got some fairing convertor plates that fill the large holes the stock indicators create and fitted some generic arrow head ones which I picked upon ebay for much cheapness

Cheers for the help guys.

My front indicators had different connectors so I decided not to go that route as my mate has borrowed my crimping tool and then gone on holiday...

I've gone with the early R1 indicators (as I didn't want to faf about with connectors and resistors for the same reason as above). Worked a treat.

Thanks again.
