    Anyone got any views or experiences on these?

    p.s. The one I've my eye on is an Italian import, and has never had indicators fitted. Are indicators mandatory in Ireland?

    I wouldn't touch an Italian import to be honest.

    I've seen the way they treat their bikes and its not nice.

    I'm not certain, but I've always been under the impression that if they're fitted they have to be working, if not fitted your ok without them. Be interested to hear if anyone has a definitive answer.

    that is true,motorcycles dont need to have indicators or mirrors here in eire,,,,i had a battered nsr 125 years ago with 1 indicator and the local speedy at the time pulled me over it and pointed out the rule of indicators,basicaly he said that if there on the bike they need to be working and if a bike hasnt got them they cant say anyting either,,so i kicked the indicator off and he said fair enough problem solved and left me off about my business :)
