Flush mount indicators WHERE!?!

Hi im wanting flush mount indicators for my RC51/SP2

Iv spoken to all my local bike dealers/garages and they allways come out with really ugly things and not what im after..

Im after the ones like this

Honda Motorcycles - FireBlades.org

Where can I get them? I live in Europe (Italy) so an EU supplier would be preffered to a USA one.

Im actually thinking of filling in the holes and replacing my stock mirrors with mirrors from either an Aprillia RSV Mille, Ducati 1098, or MV F4 as they have indicators built in and look great! But I'v been told they would fit on properly though

Does Watsens designs still make theirs?? I have not been on the street in a while and don't know if they are around anymore. They used to make some nice one and they didn't look so generic.

The indicators in the picture are Lockhart Phillips. They are very common (and inexpensive) in the US. Check out Greggs to. They look nicer, but cost more.

How much did you pay for them mate?

What extra stuff do you need? I heard getting LED indicators mean you need to get some "ticker" box or something.. do the lockheart phillips flushmount ones pretty much clip straight on or do you need to buy other stuff too?

you can buy them that just go on and hook up to the stock wires, ( they arent LED's) if you have the factory markers, clip the plug off of them with about 3" of the wire left and just hook them to the lockhart markers wires and just plug them right in. should take about 30 minutes to do both sides


oh and you should be able to pick them up for about 30 dollars US

My Lockharts cost $75.00 U.S.
They are LED and require a resistor in line or else they blink very fast, I did not install the resistor in mine because I think the fast blinking catch's the eye better.

if you buy the LED, they will cost more. and they will blink faster becuase the LEDS have alot less resistence. thats why they have the "ticker" it just adds more resistence to the marker light to slow the blink rate
