    Post I need a bit...

    ...and what red blooded biker male doesn't, eh? Eh?

    But no - this is a BIKE bit...

    Where the hell do I look to find the pillion bar and original rear indicators for My Bike?

    Want to return her to stock, and the missus is bitching that I need to start throwing her on the back, but refuses to do so without the sissy bar... (so natch, I'm in no real hurry... muhahaha...)

    Also, the rear indicators currently affixed are nifty and to coin a girly word 'cute' but impractical during daylight hours, cos they're so bloody small, nobody can see 'em! Time to go back to the big, obtrusive and dogs balls stock ones!

    Sigh...

    Help a dumbass who has fugg all experience in hunting bike bits, will ya?

    Ta!

    Solution is obvious. Get sissy bar and go for it.

    Well, I barely started the stopwatch, and someone picked up on it in record time!

    I have my original indicators from my bike, they are from the front, but that shouldn't make a difference, I'll take a pic and post it up here.

    Cheers

    There are some good cruiser accessories websites around. May depend on age of the bike though... 1988 - maybe ring the dealers and see what they can do?

    Oh, I see, sorry , I got that a bit wrong. So what you actually meant, was you need to give the Missus a bit, on the back of the bike. Bit uncomfortable, but whatever rocks y' boat. or bike.

    Ixion, he really wants to return her to 'stock' back on the shelves .... since there is no sissy bar to grab hold of, after being thrown on the back, or was that on her back......


    Oh gawd....... poor Mrs Donor.

    i would start at action bike wreckers on the shore and other wreckers....

    but seeing its indicators you may be out of luck they can be cheap and its worth calling around....

    good luck!
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    Shit, anything will fit if you use the right sized hammer...

    But as I have never seen mine with the correct indicators, I'll have to wait for me neighbour to come back from Oz this weekend and have a look at his...

    I'll have to take a pic, and you'll understand why I want bigger indicators vs CC rating!
