Indicator bulbs

Can anyone point me towards where I can find 12v 15w indicator bulbs?

Thanks for the link.

It's a BA9s fitting (9mm OD with parallel bayonet pins) and specified at 12v 15w for CRMs. The indicators I have bought came with 23w lamps in them - a 50% increase. Am I worrying too much about nothing?

Only if the engine cuts out in synchronism with the flashing unlikely, go for it, it might help avoid a " S.I.D.S.Y.M.",from a day dreamer.

BB - I don't think it is a problem running the higher wattage bulbs. The indicators are obviously built for that wattage - the bikes electrical system will easily handle that relatively small increase in power. The only possible weak spot is that the wire size was designed for the current draw of 12v 15w bulb but I really don't think it will be a problem. If you are worried then when you have hooked them up leave them on for while then feel the wiring - if its getting hot then there is too much current for the wires. As indicators only tend to be on for short periods you should be fine.
