Do they flash.

Then no. All the is required is that they flash and are 240mm apart at the rear.

Bikes like the ZZR would be screwed if flush indicators weren't allowed.

The only beef is that if you can't view them from your normal seating position your indicator warning lamps need to be working.

I had flush aftermarket indicators on the rear for the last two years - never had a problem with MOT.

And gixers, front indicators are on the mirrors and rears are part of the tail pods.

So long as they flash at a consistent speed and are the right colour you are good to mount flush indicators to your bike. And what paddy said about sufficient gap between them.

Not even that strict. While the construction and use rules do specify min separation, beyond them being either side of the centre line this is not part of the MOT Laughing

All the best
