550 F2 Rear Indicators

(1/4) > >>

Bro550F:
Hi, having acquired a grab rail, I need rear indicators with the large diameter opening to take the larger spigot which goes on the grab rail, as per pics.
I'll swap for the smaller diameter spigot and indicators or buy them, whichever is best.

The larger type of indicators are not the same shape, they are a dish shape. The smaller diameter indicator brackets are quite rare now, even I only have one set but I have 4 grabrails. If you change the back indicators you'll most likely have the change the fronts to match and then you run into the same problem. Saying that I may have the front stems in the large size. 

Bro550F:
Thanks Ken,
Do you have the large rear indicators?
 Not too bothered about the shape. Surely they are the original shape fitted to the grab rail.

Oddjob:
Depends on the market they were intended for. US got the large dish type found on the 550K3 over here. Uk got the type you've got shown. Personally I prefer the UK type, the large type just don't do it for me. Not sure if I have any, anyone with a 550 import who changed them for UK type would have them spare I'd imagine. I'll have a look around. I'll also see what the large type of stems were I saw the other day, either front or back. I know I've seen back ones somewhere.

Bro550F:
But UK bikes came with Grabrails, doesn't this mean that they had the large diameter stem too?
