    Have just replaced the stock, oversize plastic indicators on the Bonnie with British Customs black alloy smoked ones.
    Fitted a relocation bracket at the front behind the regulator and instead of fitting the rear brackets off the top of the shocks, (beacause of the grab rail) I fitted them to the bottom of the grab rail fitting. They are farther back which I prefer anyway.

    They come with clear bulbs so have ordered amber ones and the connectors are bullet ones so you need to modify the connection to the loom. I chose to cut the wire to each of the old indicators and leave the original connector in place. I then fitted a female bullet connector to each exposed wire ready for the new indicators - if I add a male connector to the original indicators, I could always refit the stock ones if I ever went mental.

    Have kept the stock rear light for now on the original mudguard IMG_20150217_132012347_HDR.jpg IMG_20150217_132004849_HDR.jpg as I have Scrambler ones to fit once they are painted - also have a Lucas style rear light which will go on then. Have ordered blanking plugs to cover the hole on the headlamp bracket.
    Looking forward to being able to pull the ignition key out without a struggle!
