Smaller Indicators

i'm feeling brainy

On the NSR RK, the front indicators are huge gawky looking things.

You cant change them because they have that hole if your remove the indicator unit.

What could i use to patch that hole up?

I could then spray it over and drill appropriate size whole and use mini indicators.

Make it look well sweet.

What you guys/girls think?

A word of advice about your sig, TrueBlue got his first. So technically you've copied him.

I'm not sure what he'd think about that.

Cheers,

Will

just use the existing hole for the new indicators! if needbe, just put a washer or 2 each side, but you shouldnt need to. My mini indicators have a smaller-in-diameter thread, but still bolt on without probs.

Have you not seen the RK indicators on the 1990 - 1991 models?

If you remove the indicator theres a hole big enough to fit 5 of those mini indicators in!

Maybe patch it up with a bit of perspex would look good.

Also if you paint the sidelight bulbs blue, it gives you blue cruise lights!

Looks well smart!

Well try and find a picture of the NSR RK model.

Then look at the indicator side and the hole is just slightly smaller than the indicator itself!

Im going to attempt it so ill let you know the results as and when i get round to doing it!

You can use a combination of wire mesh and body filler to patch up the hole, but that turns into a permanent mod.

Hey Tom

What you're looking for are "Indy Spacers". You fit your new indicators into the spacers and fit the spacers over the holes left by your previous indicators They're fairly cheap, and they'll save you a lot of bother. They can be found in the Motrax catalogue , or if you don't have a copy, go to https://www.motrax.co.uk . They've got loads of really great indicators for you to look through (personally i recommend allycators, but you might like "Micro Diamond Indicators")

The actual page you're looking for is https://www.motrax.co.uk/Index_pages/accessories/indyspacer.htm
and i've gone and had a look, and you're looking at paying about 8 quid not including delivery. They don't actually make them for the NSR, but they're just bits of plastic i think so you should be able to grind them down and spray them, and they'll still look better than leaving holes in your bike.

Good luck dude.
