The wires go in to the legshield tool box, theres about 5mm gap, i put a bit of heatshrink on the exposed part , and as the scoot is black you dont notice them :)
Im not a great fan of retro fitting indicators to lammies, but i do feel vulnerable switching lanes on busy motorways and duel carriage ways. I also have a bit of a problem with turning my head fully, and with my luck :( lol.
Ive converted an LI trapezoidal switch, the, main light -off -side light, switch part to left - off- right 8-)
Ive have a bit of a soft spot for the jet lollipop indicators and also the lynx ones 8-) How times change i hated them in the 80s :D

I hope you have wired those indicators up so they randomly flash different directions so the people behind are aware we have no clue where were going :lol:
Its been very frustrating :( getting it straight was the easy part. Everything i start to do seems to another part i havent got and need to order :(
Next jobs the engine, which i need to build then take apart and get the casing's power coated, black of course 8-)

Ive also made a badge for the leggies

I dont think we need indicators for that. :roll: :lol: :lol:

I did think of that as well , but they taper before the sew hole, so you couldn't cut the taper part off without cutting the hole out :-( . I did considered turning some ally downthen splitting it to make some clamps , but tried super glue first and its ok but could do with something neater .
