No more hand signals

Ages ago I took my rear indicators off as they were crap basically and another thing to take off for trackdays so they were junked. Been riding around using the (very occasional) hand signals when necessary. Finally got round to fitting an integrated rear light/indicator jobby from Clear Alternatives and am impressed. Good bit of kit and simple to install Thumbs Up

Pics and a video below. For some reason the can looks completely wonky but in reality it's dead straight Confused

Recommended bit of kit Thumbs Up

. Keeps the back end uncluttered.

I know it might not be MOT safe but I know a friendly MOT man.

How much does it cost to do something like that with the indicators?

Oh well done then Smile

You know you said it's not MOT safe does that mean it'd fail with really strict people or do indicators have to be a certain size legally?
Reason i'm asking is that I was thinking about putting smaller indicators on the CG, don't think I'll be getting a big bike for a while due to money Sad

.
So may aswell tart the bike up a little.

I had them fitted to my 250 and was a pile of wank because i couldn't even make a clear contrast between the red and the amber! Messed about with resistors to get the correct flash rate as it used to flash too quickly, then too slowly (slow was good because you can actually see the turn signal indicating).

my mates got them on his rsv mille, and it has passed its mot with them on. but maybe thats because the rear light section is split into 2 individual lights..

dont think there clear enough to see, although I do like them, rear indys more important than the front aswell.

Indies aren't really that important at all really on a bike, you should be shoulder checking and giving yourself pleanty of room before changing direction anyway.

I find when Im riding ive got to take control of the situation when im changing lanes etc. An indicator and mirror check isnt suffice because blind car drivers dont even notice the indication anyway. Its a case of getting in front enough so you can get across safely etc.

Ive got plans of putting the RSV rear clustor into my NC29 tail piece soon. MOT isnt a problem if you work in an MOT station. Wink
