Front indicator mounting question

[jim157]

My mk3 doesn't have any indicators, so I was considering buying some aftermarket LED units. As the oem indicators mount on brackets I was wondering what would be the best plan of action for mounting aftermarket ones (which seem to have the traditional bolt on arrangement)?

Cheers in advance.

I am not sure about the MK3 but I got a set of LED front indicators a while back but after reading what knackered said on his rebuild of his MK1 you need to wire in a capacitor for them to work.
I did fit 2 LED flat slim line ones to the back mudguard with the standard front ones they work no problem.
The other day I was doing work on my MK1 as I can not ride right now a broken wrist so I just tried fitting the LED front ones and Yes what knackered said is true both flash at the same time funny because the back ones work fine.
I think if you look in motards / specials / rebuilds look up knackereds rebuild you might find the right capacitor and how to wire it in for Led indicators.

Thanks. Yeah, I was aware of the relay and resistance issues with led indicators, I was really looking for some tips on how to physically mount them at the front.

Cheers, I've found some aftermarket brackets that bolt to the triple clamps.
