Right O

moving the bike around last night and bost me front indicator bike is 03 bandit

you can get those led flashy indicators for around £15 - £20 can you just connect them and they work ok or do you need to change anything else

Are these units any good or are they pants and not worth the £20 and get oem ones

if they are decent do you have any recommendations on which you bought including any other parts

Thanks

If replacing filament bulbs with LED units you may need to add an additional resistor. You'll know if it's needed as the new LED indicators will flash at a very high rate.

Probably cheap Chinese leds, just buy a decent second hand oem one from Ebay. You know it will fit and work then.

I fit the cheap LED from ebay circa £10 for 4 - never had a problem with them

You will probably need either resistors or an "LED indicator relay" circa £10

Are they honestly any good? Do you have a link to them ? Asking as I am helping someone on a tight budget put a cheap 125 back on the road so they can get some experience before they take their test in a couple of months.
I have always thought they would not last five minutes, be happy to be proved wrong on this.

I've never had a problem with them admittedly I don't do huge mileage

Here is the link of the cheapest, not the seller I bought from as he hasn't got any in stock, but I think they're all the same
