New GSA snapped front indicator

[scorpio]

Unfortunately walking past the bike yesterday and caught the front left indicator and it snapped. In for first service in two weeks. BMW or can I get a replacement anywhere else?

That’s a pain - let the dealer know - Bhanstormers I suspect - and get them to fit at first service - they will not stock them - but can source in 24 hours.

is it a 2021 model? with the runing lights in the indicators?

The 2020 ones (just indicators) are available at Aliexpress for about £15/pair and are identical to the OEM ones - don't ask me how I know ;-)

plenty on ebay new from china but not 2021

All dealers keep them as they get snapped off so often (in the showrooms), the front ones are a bit of a pain to fit as part of the beak needs removed to get at the wiring (I did it in a hotel carpark in Austria after someone snapped a front one off my bike on the Hull ferry) , once fixed get a set of indicator protectors , £20 odd each from wunderlich or £18.00 for a set of four from China and fitted in 10 minutes

Superglue?

Superglue?

on a brand new bike you bodger

My bike still hasn't arrived but I have a question.
As I can see, the front indicators are rigid so they can easily snap. Installing protection seems good solution.
Are the rigid ones are installed at the rear of the bike too?

 

[autogs]

yes,but do you really need bolt on bits ?

 

[scorpio]

Although new it’s not a 2021 but the last one of the current model. Just ordered protectors. Looked at ordering replacements from the link but it states 16th December. Looks like one from Bahnstormers.

motobins/motoworks may be worth a try, they are always breaking bikes and may have just what you need, I beleive the indicator is common across several modles

I bought a Chinese copy, looked the same but wasn't...far from it. Got my money back via eBay dispute (advertised as bona fide) and bought the real thing.

Someone sent me a link to some f800gs ones a while back which were slightly smaller and cheaper.

Cannot remember who ?
