[Enceladus]

the company is based behind squires biker cafe so could pop in there and grab them if you fancy a ride out.
but the free postage makes it a no brainer really!
rideout every time !

Great result.A really worthwile mod.Think I may have to
divert a little beer money in that direction soon.

[darrsi]

I've got them on my bike

What happens when you have the tail lights or brakes on and you are indicating at the same time ? Do they just default to the original indicators ?

[Enceladus]

when braking the half of the light thats indicating cuts out to show the indicators and then back on again.
gives a better effect than just a brake light in my opinion as its more "unusual" to the regular "cager".

[Slaninar]

All worse except when braking IMO. The LEDs make the brake light stand out more.

I'd like to see a YouTube of this option if you don't mind spending the time.

Anyone tried replacing the standard bulbs with led ones ?

Nicey are those!! 

[Skippernick]

Do you then take your orginal indicators off?

[Chris]

Looks good. Think I'd get a smoked set instead of clear but certainly looks bright

thought about smoked, but for me the clear lens fitted in better with the rest of the bike.

[simonm]

I forgot to mention that I think it looks great, good job.  Nice mod.

I preferred to leave my indicators on, the more the merrier as far as i'm concerned. 

[rivett]

Good mod mate, Is everything in with the price, or do you have to purr-chase any other bits, relay's and the like ? .
Any thing is good to make people aware that you are there .

[Enceladus]

no relays included but you can pick one up for £10 if needed.
i didn't need one as i left the original indicators on.
rear and brake lights don't need the relay.
hope this helps

I'd have thought keeping the originals would make an MOT easier

Not sure exactly how to find out but i reckon you need to check out the legality of smoked lenses, because i've seen many police programmes where boy racers have been told that they are simply not legal.
I think it's to do with how much light gets through the tinted lens, and also what side of bed the police got out of that day!
And as it's a German company too that's selling them, i doubt they'll give a monkey's if you take a chance or not with them!
I notice there's no mention of any legal jargon or light emittance.

[stevierst]

Is there not supposed to be a BS number or something on the road legal ones?
