Fragile indicators

[Longpod]

Can you buy rubber mounted or flexible indicators for a 2018 GS Adventure? I'm sick of snapping mine with the slightest touch

I had the same problem. Not sure about flexible rubber mounts but as an alternative i went for the Wunderlich protectors that NN sells. Not cheap but they've saved me snapping mine a few times in the garage. Rather than snapping they'll either twang back into shape or at worst bend a little ( and saves the indicator) and they can soon be bent back into shape. They've paid for themselves already.

Apparently the attrition rate for indicators in BMW showrooms is pretty high as browsing punters often catch them when walking past then hear a snap and then see an indicator bouncing on the floor.

led ones snap like carrots, lost one on the ferry when someone brushed past the bike and caught their bag strap on it , my local dealers reckoned on replacing at least one a week on bikes on display either by staff or punters catching them walking through the parked bikes.. The redesigned 1250 indicators are much more robust.

I must just be lucky then, Or careful ? Never touched one. But will be extra careful now !
