Title: Flush Fitting Indicators...Hellllllp.
Post by: copthis1 on April 27, 2015, 06:47:01 PM
Hi.

I have a 2002 636A1p and have heard the horror stories about replacing a snapped front indicator (Hours of work).

Being useless, I have a plan to fit flush front indicators and glue them into place. Anyone recommend any that fit as I'm struggling to find some.

Regards.

The hardest bit is removing the fairing lower which is about half a dozen hex head screws. The indicator is about 10 minutes once you get to it.

I cant possible think of any possible way it could take anything like that unless every single bolt has to be drilled out and you then have to drive 20 miles for replacements? , alot of it is common sense it wont take anything like that

I had an A1p and did a fair few trackdays on it and removed the indicators each time. I can't remember if you had to take the top fairing off but it's a doddle and could be done in 30 minutes

in original form they have a retaining plate on the inside which can get stuck, however the indicators stay in fine without then so fitting the indicators is just a case of feeding the wires through the hole and then pushing the rubber supporting arm into the holes so that it fits flush against the lip on it, I find a small flat blade screwdriver helps here. My ZX6RG never had the retaining plates and neither does my ZX9R on which the indicators are incidental.

Oh yes and the flush fit ones look gash.

I only fitted flush ones because I swapped to mirror indicators.

If the indicators stay in without the backplate, I'll do that......

Thanks for all replies.
