    Does anyone know where I can get one of these in the UK?

    Ebay item 390910090416



    It has to be this style with the progressive indicators and flashing brake light as they look the best. I dont mind paying the £60 they are charging here but begrudge paying £35 postage so would need to be a UK supplier or at least one with cheaper postage

    Mate,

    Any chance of having that PM forwarded to myself as well please?

    Not given up on the MOT thing yet!! Do you think the indicator is as visible as it is on the stock stalks?

    Cheers,

    Martin

    The pm just advised me to email the company direct.
    Ive done this.
    Re the MOT, it will fail as the indicators are not spaced apart enough. The one I have on my Gixxer is very bright and this one for the Blade looks much better.

    Got a reply from them this morning.
    They do not have a UK stockist and the Postage is set by the Courier so it works out to £87.90 for the light with Postage. I really want one but not sure i want it bad enough to pay £34 postage!!

    What bugs me is getting hit for the handling charge of £8 by royal mail for making you pay the VAT, its a shame it cant be paid upfront so there is no handling charge over here!

    I'm going to spend the day scouring the net looking for a UK supplier of one of these Lights. There must be a seller in the UK of something very similar

    If you are confident that it will fail it's MOT, why are you still getting one? Or do you plan to switch it out to the stock set for the test then refit? Either that or you know an MOT inspector mate!

    I will switch it out on test day and put it back after. I have one on my GSXR and it went for its test last week, i fitted the standard indicator stalks as well as leaving the intergrated ones in and the Tester told me if i hadn't done this it would've failed.
    Its a 10 minute job to put them on my Gixxer so not exactly hardship to swap it around

    I take it you don't have to disconnect the integrated ones for the MOT just add the original ones, well that makes it easier, I will just leave the existing connectors in place and bolt them on and off as needed, as you say, 10 minute job, lurvley :D

    Oh, I did spend a short while looking for a UK supplier and was unsuccessful, so if you find something that would be awesome :D

    Mine doesn't make the rear light flash but strangely enough it does make the front sidelight flash, luckily enough the tester wasn't focussed on the headlight when looking at the front indicators so missed this :)

    Thats exactly the same style as the one on my GSXR, £14 from china including P&P and only took 2 weeks from order to arrival.
    But i want the one in my video with the sequential indicators and the triple flash initial brake light
