Fitted some smaller indicators yesterday using the same idea with the fly screen - needed a couple of m12 bolts to reattach the screen where the indicators were....
Mine are actually tiny, have something like an m5 shank diameter which was a problem with the OEM location. They’re the smallest legal ones available, about the size of your middle finger end joint, yet still very bright. They’ll only sit about 35-40 mm proud of the bracket. Yours look great BTW.👍
I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy...

I applaud all of you who put the word "fabricate" in your posts. I have neither the talent nor the space to work on things at that level here. I am pretty good at assembling, but not creating. Kudos to all the home (and professional) engineers on the forum. It's fun to read what you come up with.
You’re possibly mistakenly assuming that ( in my case anyway) the fabrications are worthy of your applause!😁

These were the much smaller shank also - they were cheap and on as a stop gap while I have a think about what I want on there longer term - pic of the rear attached....

Hi all,
I am considering fitting some chrome and brass retro indicators. And would like to know the stem thread size (save me undoing one of them to check)
Cheers from Perth

Concidering the original Interceptor didn't have indicators, I think the most authentic "look" is to hide them away compleatly. I used the Motogadget Mblaze pins mounted to the triple on the front and behind the plate on the rear. They are really bright when active (E-marked and approved for road use), but virtually invisible when off.

Agreed. My fronts similar to the Mblaze pins sizewise ,the less visible the better. I’ve fitted my front and rears with extended wiring with OEM loom plugs, all sheathed with black heatshrink, just gotta put em on. Apart from the rear bracket fabrication of course. Still a work in progress. Gotta decide whether to paint it black or original silver. Decisions decisions ...

Yes. It is 12mm o/d thread and the nuts are 18mm

This rear bracket fabrication is becoming quite the PITA.
