LED Indicators

Scratchy · 25 Mar 2017 at 22:08

So I bought some LED indicators off ebay to replace my huge OEM ones while I put on a tail tidy and although they look great I realise now that they suck in the daylight, has anyone bought some that actually work in the sunshine? I know I could get much more expensive ones, like say R&G ones which cost 5 to 10x more but would they even be visible in direct sunlight?

Any advice is appreciated.

I've tried plenty and these are the best, bit more expensive than others but much brighter. I have them on the MSX and the RX.

Thanks, think I'll give them a go then.

Got any pics? What bike are they on?

My Tuono doesn't suit most LED indicator shapes as they're all sharp and angled, whereas there isn't a single straight line on my bike! These may well do the job.

These look near enough identical to the expensive triumph led indicators.

They are. I've got the genuine Triumph ones on my RX and the Koso ones on my MSX. They're identical.
Will post some pics later when I get home.

Is that price for one or a pair?

eidolon · 27 Mar 2017 at 20:47

That's each. They're not cheap but they're loads better quality than pretty much all others (with the exception of Rizoma perhaps)

24 quid for 1 indicator? lol

I know, right - those cheap chinese plastic knock-offs are miles better and only £10 a set!!

Not.

There's a reason people buy Rizoma at £40 EACH, and they're cheaper than the Triumph at £60 a pair.

It's the > £100 each mirrors that get me :eek:

At least with indicators there is something to perform better once you sling a bit more money at them.

They do look similar to the official Triumph LED ones, but these look like they have plastic casing rather than alloy?

I've been using these for the past 7-8 months:

and they've been great.

I bought a set of Rizomas, and tbh, they still look awesome - you can really tell the difference even from the cheaper knock offs

They're exactly the same, I've got the genuine ones on my Street Triple and the Koso on my MSX.

I've probably wasted hundreds on pounds on cheap indicators over the years. They all end up getting wet inside and all fail so nowadays I spend the £24 for nice bright, reliable indicators and I've had no problems since.

Ah ok, they're slightly different to the Speed Triple ones (I bought the Triumph ones recently which are spot on).

I'll be keeping that link for future though
