    Hi,
    My fireblade is in need of a tailtidy and some decent small indicators. does anybody have any recommendations of a good site where I can get these. The tailtidy isnt really an issue but would like advise on what indicators look good. Was maybe thinking of some small arrows, What do you think? Its an 04 Blade in repsol colours.
    Cheers Jim.

    I'm not into small indicators on the blade as I quite like the OEM ones. If I did however I would go for a set of Rizoma turn signals. They are expensive but look nice. No way I'd put any cheap tacky ones on!!

    +1. Got the R&G tail tidy fitted to my bike before picking up from the dealer.

    Kept the original indicators which are in proportiopn with the bike.

    I hate mini indicators. So chavish now.

    I was lucky enough to pick up a motrax tail tidy for a fiver at the bmf show a couple of weeks ago. Came with led light too. Standard indicators fit no problem.

    What about using an intergrated tail light ? They look really good on the last shap blade and your can is not covered by anything then.
    I done this on my 600rr and i made a small bracket that bolted to the suport strap of the exhaust. ( not possible if you still have the stock can thou )

    Check this one out

    Are you on about a tail light which houses the indicators?
    Not keen on them myself, they always like an obvious add-on.
    Often illegal too.
