Hi all. Just picked up a red 2004 s3. Love it - great fun. Want to mod it slightly (mechanical know nothing). Any ideas re changing to mini indicators - volt / watts are 12v / 10 watt, but everything aftermarket seems to be 12v / 21 or 23 watts - is this a problem?
Also, anyone know where to get the mirrors shown on "nours" black and orange custom s3 / would they fit easily?
Hope ok.
Thanks,
DoctorW. :chug:

welcome Doc! I'm sure some guys on here can help you out with those questions. I see you have a Warrior too! Sweeeet bike, I've always wanted one, I'm a big Yamaha fan myself. I'm sure you'll love your S3, they're great bikes! :-D

Cheers, DoctorW, and welcome to the club! Great bike, no? Without having done the change to the indicators you mention, I can't be sure, but usually the only problem associated with a significant wattage change is the rate at which they'll flash - drawing more current usually speeds up the rate. Probably 2/3 of the members of this board have experimented with new mirrors, since we are tired of watching our elbows - good luck with your new toy.
