given that i started this thread - put the standard indicators back on a while ago. fed up with the poor quality mini ones filling with water blowing bulbs and then disintergrating when you tried to change the bulb.

If you had gone the LED route that problem simply wouldn`t have arrisen. Although, even the mini bulb type are fine if you wipe some clear silicon on the lens and or body face and around the screw heads upon installation. :wink:

Tony, early R6s and R1s had the same type indicators, so try blanking plates for those?

I bought mine from a guy in Hungary through Ebay. Seen them there a couple of days ago. I just searched "trx850" and also clicked "worldwide" They are definitely on there. :thumbleft:
