Indicator Upgrade

[Macca2321]

Yes I do use the indicators

I have 2011 GSA Adv and would like to change the standard large indicators for the nice looking smaller ones ( which I think are led)

Can anyone advise which ones are the best to buy and where from maybe?

I guess it’s an easy swap over? Plug and play sort of thing?

Thank you.

Mac.

Thinking the same. See loads of cheap ones on eBay wonder how bad could they be!! I’d imagine you have to change the flasher relay too.

I was looking on the Motorworks site, they seem to have everything you need, but it says you also need a cable adapter kit (which they also supply). I've always found them very good to deal with but they are based in the UK so you will have extra shipping costs.

Not a cheap upgrade.

On a 2011 you won't need the adaptor cables. OE ones will plug and play.

Spot on. I changed mine to LED, no errors, and they plugged straight in.

I was looking at this upgrade also but couldn't convince myself at €168 + postage.

That’s good that can plug straight into the 2011. Happy days.

Yes 168 is a lot. I won’t pay that lol. But on eBay and helping out the Chinese it’s much cheaper

But what is the quality like :-/

Maybe this would work.

There was someone selling the led indicators on here. The plugs were correct but not plug and play. Dealer had to program something for them to work. That was a 2014 1200GSA. JJH

I went from filament to LED on my 06 hex.

Dont know what ive got, but plug & play.

fronts are arrows, and the rears are a combined indcator brakelight

aftermarket might plug and play....

the stock ones shouldn't just work..... but can be done using moto scan app

Don't get the Chinese ones off eBay. A friend of mine got a set and although they work they aren't very bright.
You get what you pay for I suppose.

I recently put a set of new style BMW ones on my 04, look loads better, not plug and play I think because mine is an older bike they where hard wired, so cut and paste in new ones.
I got the cheapo ebay china special ones. There not ultra bright, but there good enough. during bright sunlight not great, evening night more than enough. Cost me £20 for set of 4. Happy with that for now
