the short answer is yes but when they are on the bike they are out of site,and i assume they are still working so why would you want to change them? they look better than some of the ones i got ,i will swap you for mine if you like  and my parts are over forty years old and look a lot worse than them "if it aint broke dont try and fix it"  they are the rectifier regulator and indicator flasher relay ,and they will probably be very expensive to replace , so save your money for when they do fail  BTW they dont breakdown very often so be very patient you could be in for a long wait

I just cleaned mine up, repainted them using Humbrol enamel model paint and put them back on, they still work and are reliable.

The flasher relay is easily replaced for 99p for an electronic one which doesn't depend on bulb wattage to work. I had to buy one recently as I couldn't find the correct wattage bulbs for my winkys.

  well i did'nt know that.
my indicators stayed on with me on my irish honda cb750 last week and made a buzzing noise from the flasher unit i was gonna change it but all the spares i could find are two prong and not three .so i thought its nackered may aswell have a look inside ,so opened it up and cleaned the contacts and away she went like it was brand new you can also open the regulator and clean or adjust contacts in there aswell,dont you just lurv moving parts

I didn't know it either until I substituted 23w bulbs for 21w. I couldn't get the lenses on with the bigger bulbs tho so had to get a new relay for 99p.

Just been on David Silvers website ordering a few small bits genuine parts are not cheap ie £5.30 for one disk bolt.

Thanks anyway im just going to keep my parts i have and clean them up !!

I got a complete set of disc bolts from ebay for a fiver. Off a 450 but still the same.

Thats good to know i suppose quite alot of parts are interchangable between different models !!!

If you go here you can compare part numbers.

With regards to the indicator relay if they come on but do not flash and it buzz's just earth out the side of the relay.3 pronged one.
