The best indicators I fitted to any of my bikes were Rizoma. Stupidly expensive, but very bright even in full sunlight and they still work after 15 years!.
The quality of a lot of aftermarket indicators leaves a lot to be desired to be honest. There is some real expensive but nasty tat out there.

Don't forget to change the 7 pin relay to an LED compatible one otherwise they won't flash at the required rate. I tried ballast resistors on the GSX14 and they didn't work. Relay swap every time as it's plug n play.

PS. Oberon make quality items too :onya:

Talking of relays.

I carry the original under the seat too as it also does the starter & I'd rather have no indicators than need to bump start it should the thing fail.

Yeti, nothing new from me, was gonna advise what Hooli already has, spare relay under seat. I got little cheap arse ones, work fine, easy to see, so far good. I prefer the look to stockers, others dis agree.Cost nothing, if they stuff up, have another go. My Mate followed me in daylight, all good he said.

They look good Eric. I really wanted GSXR indicators from what model i cant remember, found heaps more hens teeth for sale. I bought something from 3rd Gear, they sent me a inside  helmet cieaning kit as bonus, spray, cloths etc.Like a new hat when done.   No wonder i reco them. Relay needed, dont pay the $100 expensive versions, my $10 job works fine, just buy 2 as back up. Resistors for wires a waste of time. All just IMO.  :laugh:

Look the same as I've got on the 14 & Hornet, except I went for white lenses.

Yeah the Oberon ones are very nice but $270aud posted for the x2 pairs was a bit rich,
I ended up going with the Derby indicators x2 pairs for $140 posted still a bit much but hopefully there very nice,
There machined billet 6061 body and a machined Brass ring to make them Purdy
x15 LED's in each indicator so should be bright enough.. Off Third-Gear....
