Indicators

colin davie · Mar 10, 2022

Been thinking for a while about fitting mini led indicators with a "modern" switch unit for everything ,turn, lights ,dip, kill sw ,horn .
what have people fitted ?

Derek Wilson · Mar 10, 2022

I have had Norton F1 indicators fitted to my Commando with LED bulbs and a LH Yamaha XS650 switch gear for about 20 years. The indicators are not "mini" but the are a little more slick and understated than the original Lucas ones. The fronts are mounted below the tank a la CNW. The taper of the rears match the contours of the L679 tail light.

The switch gear embodies a balance of modern function with a period look.

I have installed a generic, small RHS switch gear (sourced from Amazon) to handle the starter button (Alton fitted), and latching kill switch

You can see the indicators in my profile pic.

My $0.02

When you say ‘mini’… how mini dya wanna go?

You’ll have to look twice to even know the bike below has got any indicators, and they’re brighter than ANY incandescent bulb indicator…

I used flexible LED strips, as I did not want indicators sticking out on a stalk or post. I wrapped the strips around the front fork tubes and the rear shock tubes.

These things are extremely bright!

Good question. I would think they wouldn’t care either way. But best to enquire.

Better option for self cancelling is the Kisan SignalMinder (@Tornado put me on to them). They're US items.
It is superior IMHO because:
1. The countdown to "off" is suspended while the brake light is on, and
2. Offers the option of having the indicators as running lights - only half strength (works well according to my mates)
