indicators with oem panniers

Postby scrote » Wed Aug 13, 2008 12:02 pm

I have some genuine honda panniers
and they came with extension brackets to take the standard indicators backward and outwards.
they look a bit silly without the panniers fitted.
what i would prefer is something a bit tidier.
anyone come up with a better idea? if so pics please

cheers

NO!

Unless you fabricate a bracket to fit it too. Mr Honda does not make one.

I notice from the pictures included they are not OEM panniers or bracketry, those rubber extensions are there to prevent vibration breaking bulbs I do believe.

I am sure I have posted pics of mine fitted, search against my name to see, im too lazy to do it for you.
