    It will be easy for you to just "borrow" some e-marked indicators [sometimes this might not be checked but not worth messing about with] and after compliance you can do whatever you want. You could easily make some tiny little pods to sit on top of you switch blocks with LEDs in 'em. This would be almost invisible untill they were on. Here is what has been on my bike for about 5yrs. Muffler shrouds and original hand guards. I have since removed all the originals. Plus on one of my projects I simply fitted them into the edge of the number plate. Have never had an issue at WOF time and twice while being ticketed I have been complimented by the cops. Very cheap and easy and is up to your imagination.

    Have been doing a little web surfing:

    Bar end indicators are also available (do not look great though)

    And then there are the mirrors with build in indicators; wonder if these would be deemed legal here...

    Yeah, the mini indicators would be a good option. Don't know about the bar end mirror yet, don't like the way they stick out. Oh well, I'll think of something. May just put mini indicator on (either on the fork, or back on the frame) just to get it registered first.

    Just having fun thinking about all the options. Seems like no one makes bar end mirrors with build in indicators yet... there's a whole market out there!

    Just a wee reminder that bar end indicators require the wires to be routed inside the bars. You have clipons? Just a thought
