Dunno why you'd want to make things more unclear for other drivers, i much prefer to be seen rather than confuse them with a flashing light in the middle of the bike.

If I could get away with them fixed under the yoke or similar I just wouldn't use them for that reason, most of my bikes never had them and tbh I don't think we really need them (nobody see's them unless you accidently leave one on, then at the next junction the car will pull straight out in front of you.



The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989  states that the minimum separation for front indicators is 300mm and each must be at least 100mm away from a dipped headlight or foglight.

As above re visability
Lots of conflicting info out there
One Northern Biker site states that you still don't require them .......

The more you can get seen the better.

A sam brownie belt would make you more visible but would you really want to wear one
