Basically want to remove the massive truck indicators off the front of my cbr600f 99 and can't decide between:

-Flushmounts
(along the lines of https://www.motorcycleindicators.co.uk/flush-fairing-indicators/honda-fairing-led-indicators/prod_62.php

-Short LED stalks or just normal short stalks

Anybody have any nice looking short stalks to sway me? Because im awful at decisions!

Cheers Smile

The indicators on the CBR serve a very good purpose that is when you drop it they absorb lots of energy of a drop! Peter has a 99 CBR with cat eye flush mounts though. Problem is the indicator mount is dead funny and mounted in such a way there is a fair bit of overlap from the root of the stalk.

Yer, I can imagine the bike being fully supported by them, they are a tad on the huge side. Cat eyes like the flushmounts?
Eso, that the exact undertray I have Smile Its why I want to match it up a bit more by replacing the front ones!

On a very slightly similar vein.
The indicators on my XS400 are/were HUGE! and when I got the bike they were broken.
so I decided to put smaller after-market jobbies on.

The problem is that you need to match the bulb wattage/loading to that of the flasher relay, or the indicator wont flash properly.
so I had to go and find the right wattage bulbs that fitted into my new indicators and that was`nt as easy as I thought it was going to be.
A car spares shop came to the rescue in the end.

just a thought! Thumbs Up
