Don't do it! you'll get crap up your back  every time it's damp & the underseat storage is never as big or waterproof afterwards.

Agree with Hooli

I converted my mudguard back to standard when I got my bike 3 weeks ago.
I will be converting my indicators back to standard very soon.
I have the rears...
Just waiting to spot a pair of decent fronts..

This sounds odd to me as having just had a week in the Scottish rain, I do have a tail tidy and no mudguard, but didn't experience and spray from the back! Must be good tyres  :whatever:

Or crap tyres that don't clear the water off the road...

You had luggage on right? that'll catch the spray pretty well too. Hence the lock on my topbox is always 1/2" deep in mud as the mudguard was trimmed on mine before I got it.

I still cringe at the thought of fitting smaller indicators. We are all different after all.

I fitted a set. Never happy. The 14 has a big frontal area, and an equally big arse end. 'Smartie' size indicators just appear lost to me. And it's the safety aspect. A mate was following me the other day, he could not believe how visible the OE indicators are. I changed lens for clear - and orange bulbs. Horses for courses and all that...

I still love my ermax indertray though...!

I can't get out to the shed at the moment due to my hip op.
I think I've got a pair of OEM front indies in there. I sold either the front's or the rears on here a while back to veemanzero..Can't bloody remember which one's for certain now :rolleyes:
Message me in a few weeks time if you don't get sorted and I'll be able to get in there by then and have a look for you mate :onya:

PS. Sorry to hijack your post Moose..Bike looks very tidy mate :onya:

From the technical side led's have 4 x the lumens of standard bulbs so should be 4 x more visible. Both work fine in reality so down to personal taste, my view is smaller and more powerful is a good thing 👍

same as standard suzuki parts direct fit and just as easy to see in the real world.

Hi Seth,
Mine had those on when I bought it👍 But once you go down the tail tidy road,
my feeling is you have to go smaller otherwise they look a bit too big.

look at other suzuki's buddy I'm sure some have smaller smoked indicators .

p.s. if you still have a set of lenses let me know what you want for them as I'm needing a set .

p.p.s.
sorry moose for hijacking your thread

your bike is very tidy  :cheers:
