Title: Indicators 500/550
Post by: Davelu88 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

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

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" ;)
