No!
One flasher unit for the whole system. (unless you wire it in an odd way as two different circuits)

If you are using LED indicators then you will need a specific LED flasher unit. If you are using ordinary bulbs on an AC electrical system remember your headlight will likely dim if you use 23 watt bulbs (not a problem on a DC battery system) 10 watt bulbs help prevent this but are not as bright. You will also need a warning light or audible warning for MOT.

ive done this conversion on a gp and an auto lammy .im restoring the gp now so taking them off if you've got a standard Italian gp switch housing in great condition you can have mine with the indicator switch built in . im in whitchurch Shropshire .if you can see the indicators flash when riding you wont need a warning light
