Is there an way of having indicators on my lambretta vega using another scooters indicators?
Question
As you know its almost impossible to get hold of original vega indicators. What I really need to know is there alternate scooters indicator system I can use. Thank you :)
Answer
are there 'copys' out there as there seems to be plenty around for many bikes, even my '88 FZ600 but if you are not after spot on replacements just put on any that look similar, try looking on the M&P website they seem to have a very good selection of indicators, but if you are after exact age and design then its trolling the likes of ebay or partfinder i'm afraid
