I have been gone off the forum for months due to a back surgery. Finally up and around and had some time on my hands to play with the bike in the garage. I had the same problem with indicators in the daytime. I don't know if any of you ever played guitar, but anyone that ever had a Fender amp knows the great jewel faceted glass surface of the pilot lights. I bought an assortment of colors and they just plug right into the existing holes when you remove the original lenses...they look great and they are much classier than the plastic stuff that is on the bike now. The facets really spread the light around well enough for me to see it in the daytime. Anyone interested, let me know and I'll post the suppliers web site...

Cool idea but if you use the LEDs that should solve any brightness issues.

I actually would rather use the stock lens because those fender pilot light jewels are domed and will stick up. Just my preference, but if it's brightness you're after silverado's post is right on. Brightness of the freakin' sun.

It's all about options I say and here's an idea I can file away for who know when and what for, so thanks for the suggestion. By the way, all the best in your recovery and if you want to chat to a fellow "back surgery" biker, just pm me.

nice gesture golfer. I wish everyone would put up a photo of there bikes cos I love seeing what other blokes and ladies have done to their steads. Mine actually looks a little bit different now though with deuce risers, but I reckon the look is better. I'm just waiting for the corbin single to arrive before I take another pic. tar
