Look up "Indicator mod by Darrsi" on YouTube.

Also got the clear lens tail light with built in indicators on as well.

I've left the original indicators on as well, i wanna be seen as there's too many arseholes about and i'm not giving them any excuses not to see me!
A couple of quick questions if you have the time please ?


What are the spec of the LEDs ? (are they waterproof, SMD, light output ?, ebay link if you have one :-))
Is it attached with self adhesive tape or something stronger ?
I assume you just spliced them in to the existing wires with waterproof connectors ?


TIA Darrsi.

They're waterproof, very bright, and they have a strong adhesive tape on the back so just make sure the fairing surface is free fom dirt or grease.
I also made a point of keeping them as flat as possible on the fairing, rather than sticking them on any curves, as i didn't want them peeling off in hot weather. They're still on there now so that all seems to stick very well.

I unscrewed the indicators so i could feed the wire through the hole then just put them back in place, the wire just about fits snugly.
And i simply unclipped the original indicators bullet connector, fed the bare wire through the middle of it, bent a bit of wire back then pushed the bullet connector back into place.
There were no problems with timing either, they work perfectly in sync with the original lights.

They're 2.5 times longer than mine......you'll have planes trying to land on you in the dark!  :lol

Re: indicator inspiration. - simonm - 09-07-13

I'm hoping they're cut to fit and I can make 2 or more from each  :b

They're all wired up internally in a rubber mould, i don't think you can cut anything?

Re: indicator inspiration. - simonm - 09-07-13

Most smd's are cuttable after 3 leds and then there are solder pads.

The one I've ordered seems to have a cutting gap every 3 if you look at the pic.

Time will tell.  It's worth a role of the dice for the difference in price imo.

Thanks for your help and on my own head be it :-)

Re: indicator inspiration. - Superfour Tom - 10-07-13

I personally love the Standard indicators. Maybe you would like them with clear lenses and amber bulbs?  :evil

Re: indicator inspiration. - simonm - 16-07-13

They've arrived.  Hopefully you can see the cut marks every 3 leds.  It's not as pretty as the solid black resin but it'll do the job beautifully hopefully.

Re: indicator inspiration. - darrsi - 16-07-13

Are they waterproof?

Yup.  They're covered in resin and have shrink wrap over the wire.

Re: indicator inspiration. - Doddsie - 16-07-13

Dont indicators have to be a certain distance apart??

Re: indicator inspiration. - simonm - 16-07-13

I wonder if this is relevant ?  24cm's apart at the front and 18cm at the rear by the looks of it  Sad

Re: indicator inspiration. - stevierst - 16-07-13

Well mine just passed it's first MOT with them on :Smile
My MOT bloke is old school thankfully. He said "if its yellow and it flashes, then its an indicator"
I had them on my old R1 streetfighter built into the number plate. He mot'd it for the 7 years I had it like that. Passed every time. Wink
