Indicators 500/550
« on: March 08, 2019, 07:07:16 PM »
Hi all im thinking of changing the indicators on my 550 K1 as they are about the size of a saucer and i dislike them, i like the smaller type like on the 400 and DSS sell an aftermarket set of indicators like the 400 ones albeit with a different stalk , has anyone used these or does anyone know of another supplier of similar indicators.
  Cheers Dave

Not sure what your original stems look like, i sell these ones for the UK bikes.   www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163580849170?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649


If you show me a picture of the ones you have, i could match for the smaller indicators .

The ones Julie sells will either replace the bolts holding the headlamp shell and leave the holes where the originals are OR with suitable nuts fit in the holes where yours are now. You may have more trouble with the rears.

Think I paid £45 for a set of four indicators a while ago, but think they are sold out. But still available here.

Hard to get hold of Stanley indicators in the UK at the moment. The ones you have listed are not Stanley as another member has already found out " Paul G"  ;)

I have one pattern indicator that I bought from DSS a while ago and didn't like it a great deal. Free to anyone, plus post.
