Bike Rebuild and Ebay Items

I'm currently in the middle of bringing some new life into my 08 XTX, and just doing all the little mods I've wanted to do for a while but never got round to and as the bike had been off the road for a while I've decided to strip it down and get it ready for next spring. (was meant to be this summer but it's taken a bit longer than expected)

So far I've had the rear swing arm, front engine bracket and foot plates all repainted and I've blasted and repainted the engine black. I've fitted a tail tidy and am currently painting a rear tyre hugger and the rear brake cover too match the blue plastics (working progress, not entirely sure the blue matches just yet). Also fitted MTC 2-1 exhaust system.

That's all fine however I am now looking for a solution to the indicators, I quite like the large original ones on the front but they no longer work on the rear and I'd rather not have two different sized indicators on the bike. Has anyone got pictures of smaller indicators at the front? Or any experience with fitting these style hand guards... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1914533001...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Another area I'm thinking of changing is the radiator hoses. Now that the engine is black there's not much colour around the engine, I've been looking at this radiator hose kit for a while but can't make sense of the bottom most hose, the other two I can clearly see on the bike. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3213401861...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
