Original or Alternative Steamer INDICATORS !

Hi Guys,

I was zapping along a bit too quickly as usual and this lady 'U' turned in front of me to drive the same way. I hooted as much as I could while yanking the brakes on but neither of us stopped in time, a massive crunch and I managed to skip over my tiger as she fell to the left and I landed on my feet like a cat !  :ImaPoser

Her bumper was virtually completely torn off and her front left head light smashed. My bike . . . Just the front right indicator smashed and a few scratches to the body on the other side. Love it !! We chose to part ways and cover our own costs as it was both our mistake.

So . . . I'm looking for a replacement indicator. I'd love an original or a good copy. Where could I get one from?

Alternatively I replace both the front indicators with some thing newer or slightly different but not too different that they look too dissimilar from the rear indicators.

What do you guys suggest?

Cheers,

Dan

Hi Threepot,

I've had a look but can't find any currently listed?

When my rear indicator stalks aged out and cracked, I got a new pair from the dealer.
I may not be big, but I'm slow.

Sorry, but it has to be said... I'm afraid Sin_Tiger owns all of the spare steamer indicators in the world  :icon_rolleyes:
and he will not disclose the location of the vault.

Did you tell the lady she ruined steamer blinkers?

Does she comprehend? 

By the way, at least you weren't hurt

Honda XR650L indicators are a close match.

Thanks Nick. There currently aren't any of these on Ebay.

Would these fit?

I would assume that they would since the mounting set up is probably universal throughout the Triumph range.

Otherwise, just take your pick from what may be out there....

Wait for it  :tin hat I'll check in Fort Knox  :icon_rolleyes: it is just the front LH needed?
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Hi Sin !

Sorry it's the FRONT RIGHT hand indicator I need. Any ideas?

I had a 900 Trident and I'm pretty sure it had the same indicators......
