Does anyone know where i can get some of these from?

I want to add a pair of these indicators to a 1978 primavera 125?
SIP have a list of the separate parts required, but I can't seem to find a complete kit, or indeed a list of all the parts needed.

Cheers

I am no expert but here are my thoughts on what you need,
2 light units
1 indicator relay, either AC or DC depends on if you have a battery or not
1 switch, this can be either the proper vespa switch or a three position one from maplins or cpc. if its a proper vespa one you are after try to find stuff for american spec models as their v100 and primmys and rallys had indicators

If it was me I'd try to fit a battery as it makes wiring easier, most basic wiring is,
power source-indicator relay-switch-indicator bulbs-earth
need 2 wires from switch to each side of handlebar lights

PX's are different wiring as the front and rear flash alternatively to balance load on the stator.
hope this helps, Dave

Here http://www.scooter-center.com/scoweb/pa ... egory2=CAT is the full handlebar set. You will also need an indicator relay (locate in left panel?) and run wiring to and from. 6v or 12v?

I did a (comparatively on the cheap) diy with just the grips, switch, lights, relay and switch once. Would advise non battery: lot less to store/go wrong. As long as your bulb wattage and relay balance then no problem. Most Px Vespas are 12volt AC systems at the end of the day, and there is little room for a battery on a Prim.
