Hi I am in the process of buying a ds 200 and I am contemplating retro fitting indicators for safety when I ride.
I would like them to be inconspicuous when not flashing and maybe even easily removable?
Any ideas/ suggestions would be more than welcome.
Thanks Andy

I have a simple, no-wiring suggestion for you.

Truth in advertising -- haven't tried 'em!
Plan was to affix 5 velcro stations: One at the headset for the controller, two on the legshield sides, two on the cowls.

Many variations of these but here's the idea:

There are a few models of these. I liked these ones. Very subtle.

I have similar set on on my Smallie. Amazon special. They are inexpensive and work well. Basicly a knockoff of Motogadget. Wired the White light as Running light (on with key), and amber as turn signals; all done in the headset.

I just finished adding turn signals to my VBB today.

I fabricated the front and rear brackets out of aluminum, and but it's not perfectly reversible since I had to drill the bottom of the headset to get the wiring in. The front bracket is also a mirror bracket.

the front one doesn't get hung up on the leg shield? looks very tight space. Cool project!
