Featured New Indicators And Rear Light

Finally fitted my new Lucas style rear light from Square Deals (along with their "plug and play harness". Much better looking than the original as are the brushed chrome indicators.
The relocation brackets were bought from the cheap Chinese site Wish (thanks to Wayne for the heads up on this one). I think the rear brackets were only £3.00 with free postage and nothing I've ordered from there has taken longer than 14 days to arrive.

 

Thanks! No, I bought them separately as I really liked the style. They are not LED but are brighter than the originals. The make is Lockhart Phillips Aluminium Series Turn Signals - they were came up on one of those random facebook adverts. I ordered them as they were £20.83 a pair, which I thought was a good price but fortunately they come from the States so the postage is about £28.00 plus taxes! Very pleased all the same though.

 

That's the next job. I have the new brackets but just haven't had time to change them over yet.

 

That will happen when I fit the new headlamp brackets and as it now turns out new fork gaiters as the old ones have split!

 

Not so far - fingers crossed! The indicators and the idiot warning light work ok and there have been no engine management light issues - yet!

 

Cheers - Yes I had that problem on my first Bonneville so I had to get the relocation bracket for the indicators, although I don't mind the position off the headlamp bracket I've already moved the ignition to the centre of the instrument bracket on this bike so could have fitted them by the headlamp.

 

Same here - the swinging key also rubbed the paint off the headlamp bracket

 

Looks neat. Are the indicators bolted directly into the mudguard? Also curious about the exhausts - what make are they?

 

Well guess what? Half way through a ride and the RH indicators stopped working!
LH side work OK and at normal speed but both front and rear RH ones don't.
First job - swapped bulbs across and the RH bulbs work in the LH indicator.
Second; checked fuse No.7 but as the brake light and horn still work it wasn't that.
Third; checked the flasher unit - but figured that either works or it doesn't.
Fourth; swapped indicators over at the front - RH one worked on LH circuit.
Fifth; unplugged the harness for the rear indicators and rear light and both front indicators work fine!
Sixth; tried another indicator as the RH rear and it worked.
Seventh; took the RH indicator apart and found that the insulation on one wire had been cut and was shorting out.
Problem solved - all working again!

(I still hate electrics though!)
