TezzerTel:
I imagine they are the original ones seems a bit odd they wouldn't have made them handed ?

Not really, Honda were masters at using the same item in different places to keep costs down.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
IIRC on my 500 that is a UK model with the USA rear loop fitted I found a similar issue.
I'll trawl through my XL build log to see what I did.
Bryanj:
The rubbers are identical, the steel brackets are handed and you put the steel tube in the opposite hole in the rubber(but same physical positio front to back) for the screw to clamp on.
I have seen in the past the same clamp used both sides and the stem on one side fitted backwards, one of those things you stand looking at, know there is something wrong but cant figure what till the light bulb goes on
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Thats's right Bryan, its coming back to me now, my 500 had either two left hand or two right hand brackets that were somehow made to fit!
I replaced the rear brackets/indicators with some aftermarket ones that I retro fitted with an earth wire from the bulb holder.
