Smaller front indicators

Are there any smaller front indicators I can fit. I have a bigger tank and the indicators hit it in full lock
Cheers

Re: Smaller front indicators

There are lots of small, halogen indicators available and they are very cheap. I got a set of high quality chrome "bullet" indicators for my old Kawasaki for about £20.

The bad news is that HD use a weird mounting system that means you're stuck with the massively overpriced Harley specific items.

Re: Smaller front indicators

Yeh, recently put some on my sporty, £25.48 from Gurnsey.



trouble was:-


I didn't take into account the rake angle of the forks when I loctited the indicators to the chrome extensions


So now I've got front indicators that only lorry drivers can see


can't be arsed to change them
the bikes got "character" now
