Dropped my bike.....

Dropped it wheeling her out of the Garden last night, tripped over a paving slab & down she went... (& yes, I do feel like a proper tool)

Anycase, damage not too major, dent in the can, smashed indicator, scratches & brake lever has gone. All that I can sort quite easily (was getting another exhaust anyway :devious).

Question is, can anyone suggest a good set of new indicators? Thought since I was replacing I may as well put some that are a bit more interesting on.

Thoughts?
 
make sure u check your swing arm for dmg mate, usually zaust hits that :(


And hard luck for the drop. let me know if u get anywhere with the indicators, am looking for some new ones too.
 
M&P have quite a few to choose from..unlucky about the bike mate :jack always a worrying time getting mine out the shed as i have to turn it 90*, thankfully never had a scary moment yet :thumbup
 
did a similar thing once buddy but that was with a motocross bike so the damage was minimal still kick in the nads though
I too would be interested to see what you find on the indicator front
 
Bad news about the bike drop dude. I think the l.e.d. indicators with the side flashing bits are pretty trick and get you seen better.

nae luck mate, sort of thing happens to us all at least once.
I suggest you fit an open flash relay, then you can put any indicators on regardless.

Now they do look pretty good. Found some similar ones from M&P suggested by sprocker so think they might be the way to go.

Probably a daft question - how will I know if I need to fit one?
 
well if you put the led ones on and they flash at about 90 times a second then you will need the relay chap
 
i fitted led rears to mine and they wouldn't flash, just constant on with the supplied resistor

Wired them up without the resistor & used a motrax universal flasher relay and work spot on

Was a sorry sight indeed. Made me feel like a right chump too!

Anyway, cheers all for the advice on fitting ect (+ sympathy!). Once I have the new bits fitted I'll pop a picture on here along with any relevant details.
 
Hope yer got someone to fix that dodgy paver ol mate...once is annoying..twice would be a real p.ss.r :(
 
i filled in a ****** form, and waiting for judgement from the md as i put a claim in for 100 quid of damage just waiting now sorry to hijack back.... the res thingys dont often work the still flash too fast or just say on as some one said, they just put them in for show
