Hello,

does anyone know what make the indicators are on a DB1? or what other bikes they could have been original equipment on?

Cheers, MikeJ

sorry Mike
I still haven't found out what they are from- it must be something very obscure.
Loudbikesteve has new ones on 'bay for about $80 each, otherwise they come up sometimes secondhand on 'bay.

Oh Crankie, you've let us down, a never before known occurence.

LoudBikeSteve still has NOS indicators as you say, but they work out at 400GBP for a set of 4 when 10% import duty and 20%Vat is taken into consideration. At that price I'd still never fir them in case I damaged them Laughing

The Search continues......

Hello Crankcase and 2Bims,

thanks for the replies-$80 a pop sounds a bit steep-still I can always use hand signals!

Cheers, MikeJ

And here they are

http://www.loudbikestore.com/lights-electrics-gauges-c-1286_1291.html

I wish they were $80 a pop but he wants $98.80 a piece.....Then add your 10% import duty and then add 20% VAT, and they also include the postage costs as "value" in those percentage additions, then add your Post Office fee and voila 100Squid a-piece.

Please someone buy his stock and then any "mad lunatic" temptation to pay such skyhigh prices would be removed and I'll make do with what I have on the DB1 already... Laughing

Hi

Think they are also used on a lot of other Bimotas (ie, the Dieci) but never found what bike donated them

All the best

Keith

I had two damaged blinkers that I tried unsuccessfully to repair. I considered replacing all blinkers with some smaller aftermarket units that I bought but in the end bit the bullet and bought a pair from Loud Bike.
