Not the best picture, what do you think? It's one with the integrated indicators, but currently I'm choosing not to use them, as the unit is really tiny it will make them difficult to be seen. Sorry no pics of it working but I'll do that tomorrow. £15 from china, so it's cheap in every sense, but looks ok. Tail tidy next.
Also changed my brake fluid front and rear, rock hard levers now. Brake fluid was slightly cloudy/frothy.

Looks good Thumbs Up

Tail tidy will make a big difference! I couldn't believe how much better my bike looked with one on Very Happy

Agreed Thumbs Up
My mate has one on his ZX12R, but it's twice as wide, he uses the indicators and it looks ok. The whole point of indicators is so that you can indicate to other road users, your itentions (or at least give them a clue anyway). But this is so narrow it would be dangerous, aside from being illegal.

In any case, I have changed the bulbs in the rear indicators to be the chrome/orange kind, rather than orange. So my indicators look a lot better for £2. I could change for LED's but the fronts are integrated and I didn't fancy £80 for replacement integrated versions. It looks rather nice, a tail tidy to finish it off and all will be good.

Are indicators an actual legal requirement on all bikes? Or is it a case of, they just have to work or be legal if fitted?

If lights are fitted, the indicators are required.

To have no indicators, you need no lights at all.

Pre 19something something bikes don't need them anyway.
