For info: I emailed classiccarleds who replied as follows:
The flickering with the LEDs can be caused by a number of things, RF from the coil being primary however, we'd recommend checking:
The earths and live contacts at the lamp holders and also the flasher relay. LEDs need better contacts than incandescent lamps will suffer. Vibration from the bike when the engine is running may be causing loss of contact which LEDs will show immediately.
A drop in voltage. Make sure you have 6 volts at the lamp holders when the bike is running.
Your indicator switch. Make sure the switch is in good condition and the contacts are clean.
Using a multimeter, ensure there is no ripple (AC) in the electrical supply.

O.K. thanks anyway.

Bulbs are 2 pin, (same height not offset), bayonet fitting with a 15mm base.

The battery is fairly new and is the AGM type. I have 6.40 volts with the engine off, 7.01 volts at idle then variable up to 7.45 volts when revving the engine.

Just to be clear, LED bulbs were put in the original indicators, so it's just the bulbs which were changed then the diode and flasher unit wired in.

Bulbs, diode and flasher relay all bought from classiccarleds.

I converted the indicators on my 1981 CB100N to LED bulbs, (together with diode and the correct relay), they work fine with the engine off but flicker when the engine is running. The supplier suggested that this may be due to an unsuppressed HT lead. I used a new coil with a suppressed lead and a suppressed spark plug cap but the flickering remains when the engine is running. Has anyone had a similar experience or maybe suggest what might be causing the flickering? Thanks.

That's great, thanks.

1981 CB100N. Can the HT lead on these coils be replaced? Does the lead unscrew or pull out or are they somehow bonded to the coil? Cheers.

My switch has a six wire block connector, not four wires?

Thank you, they both look the same. I'll check the wiring on mine tomorrow to see if that is the same. I don't know the part number, I did look on CMSNL to try to find it a while back and saw that they don't list the CB100N.

Thanks for your advice. MOT is not an issue as the bike is registered as historic and therefore exempt, (I imagine it's probably illegal though)! I've been searching for months for a replacement switch unit but the right hand switches do not seem to come up for sale, there are loads of left hand switches about, any right hand switches that I have seen on ebay have not been the correct ones. The OFF>ON switch appears to be the problem not the beam selector switch, maybe I could wire in a toggle switch as the on-off switch instead of at the handlebars?

I've had a problem with the headlight on my CB100N which I traced to the handlebar switch, after cleaning the switch it worked for a short while but is now dead again. I was thinking of wiring up the headlight so that it comes on permanently when the ignition is switched on. I assume that it will have to be on dip permanently but this is not a problem as I only ride the bike during the day. I want a working headlight during the day as this is how I normally ride the bike anyway. Is it as simple as joining wires together to achieve this? If so, which wires? Cheers.
