Indicators on top of cycle wings
Humbug - 15/2/05 at 11:22 AM

Has anyone done this? I think from SVA point of view they should be nice and visible, and I maybe something like old VW beetle front indicators could look quite good. Wiring would be a minor issue to get it looking tidy, I s'pose.

My ST has holes on the headlamp brackets for round mini-type indicators but I think they are more than 400mm inboard of the rear wings.

Mac#1 have just started to do them. Look very nice - about £14 pair iirc. Hasnt Caterham or Westfield done this for some time now?

The SVA manual also says that you dont need a dash tell tale if you can see the indicators from the drivers seating position (check it for yourself tho'

There is a slight disadvantage that you're adding more weight to something that is already notorious for breaking!

Not a lot of weight of course but it might be enough to tip the balance.

Better to use leds in this lamp set as the vibrations with stuff the lamp filiments.
As the man says these things fall off, but as a plus they will remain tethered to the car dragging along when they do break
