Must have been a good rider, or modified, because their suspension is absolute shit.
'Free' is a pretty good price to pay though. :headbang:

Do you need a brake compliance check with that too?

I'd say for that price any light and indicators you can properly bolt on. Scan your local wreckers & trade me.

You should be able to get away with any light and indicators so long as the light is adjustable and the indicators can be seen at ( I think ) a 45 degree angle, and everything is either Dot or E stamped.

If you dont mind waiting and you want new for cheap (just check they are stamped etc) then try ebay.

If you have the original plate and want to use it (assuming it's in good nick) you can contact VTNZ? for a confirmation that it's re-useable.

I think I have some indicators and a couple of bits off an XL250, but it was the '72 model. They have chrome surrounds. No idea if they'll fit or be compatible....and no idea why I still have them since I got rid of the bike in '74/'75??!!
I'll check in the garage if I still have them. PM me if you want them and can pay to have them mailed as I can't throw as far as Dunedin.

yes my cousin has been overseas for quite some time
his mother had been putting the bike on hold each year then forgot
so it eventually got deregistered
then the indicators and lights dissapeared when one of his m8s took it for the occasional spin offroad
i havejust found the lights indicator/plate etc now
so just waiting for the epic mission (currently in action)to get it home from invers
so i can tidy it up a little and get it registered once again!!!

bits4bikes and make a new account you get a $20 off voucher,
Otherwise you would probably be best going offshore the likes of ebay if you really wanna save money.
