Ever since I got the Storm I hated the blinkers with a passion. Antiquated things they are. As well as dating the bike they are butt ugly. I like the look of these and they are bright as well. All up total cost $60- and some time .    Neater and functional as well. I think they look heaps better! |

Looked at then, however wanted something bigger.
Bloody tin tops need all the help they can get and I like the angular look instead of oval.
Personal preference I guess.
Anything is better than the originals though.

Yes the designer for Honda at the time had a lot to answer for with those indicators. Anything is better that standard. Attachments:

The thing on my oil filler cap is an oil temp gauge.
A bit of bling but also a handy reference.

The oil temp with this gauge sits at 60 Degrees Celsius.
Never seen it go above that.
The bike runs an electric water pump with no thermostat so that may contribute to the stability of the temperature.
I have put this gauge in boiling water and it reads correctly.
This came from EBay in Germany.
For me it's a peace of mind thing. As well as functional bling.

Just remember if anyone is wanting to do LEDS all round that you will need a flasher relay to stop hyper flash. Like this one on ebay $28 delivered. www.ebay.com.au/itm/321404492433 |

I have that, works a treat! I installed mine just a few weeks ago and it has worked better than expected. I now have a normal flash rate.... |

Hey Kenmoore, Maybe you could add an indicator where the old mirror mounts were?  \\Stay Upright\\ |

No mate, I have other plans at the moment.
I like the way my blinkers look and operate .
I do have something in mind for the original mirror mounting points and in time all will be revealed!

Don't hold your breath boys!
I have heaps of maintenance to do to the Storm.
I have neglected the old girl when I fixed the 848 up.
Good thing about the Storm is it keeps going with minimal attention once it is set up.
Not like other bikes I have owned that required constant attention.!

Mate you wouldn't be still in possession of the original blinkers and be interested in offloading the old fronts would you?

I have them! What have you got planned? Just planning on replacing the broken front blinker she suffered when Scarlett sunk on the side stand on Sunday and had a lay down  Was parked with 6 other bikes and Scarlett was the only one that went down. Was a gravel carpark. Scratched fairing, scratched bar end, scratched fkuc out of my CF Delkavic & bent clutch leaver Didnt go down straight away either as I went back to the bike for my helmet after 10 or 15 minutes. Talk about pissed off! I thought about LED's but I'd like to be able to keep her looking pretty original. Realy only need front left but figured I'd have to buy in pairs. Would you part with them mate? |

Mate after that saga I have to feel sorry for you.
They are yours!,
I will organise to get them to you as I think I still have your details.
Do you only want the left front one?
