Bryanj:
Very common and not normally a problem even for MOT, its usually the bimetallic type flasher can, you can fit an electronic one but not worth the cost to me

mike the bike:
I run an extra earth return from the indicator,  right next to the bulb,  back to the loom itself to eliminate any bad earth problems. 

Greebo:
I have been inside the head light but cant see any lose connections & I cant see an earth to any of the 2 headlight bolts & this is where the front indicators are attached at either side [via the headlight bolts] the jumble of wires looks like a snakes orgy.. :o

I have spoke to the guy who built the bike & he tells me its normal to get this problem .... but I don't think so, its an MOT failure

K2-K6:
You can put some jump leads to the indicators inside the headlight shell from a good earth on the engine and try it like that to see if you get an improvement.

And Bryan's advice to swap the indicator flash relay, you can get a basic one for things like old BL Mini from local motorfactors to assess this.

Greebo:
I am going over to see the guy who built the bike for me tomorrow.

regarding corrosion there is non at all.

it does seem like its something to do with the power supply as I only get the indicators going solid only when the main headlight is on & as said before they start working when I Rev the engine.

I will see what he has to say, but not holding my breath, he has already tried blaming the new motobat battery which gives a reading on the multimeter of 13.5 when the bikes not running.
