Well although Clear Alternatives have said they will be making a combined rear lamp with built in turn signals (sorry, Indicators - I've been in the US too long already!) for the new Tenere... due to a rear indicator/ground interface situation in Death Valley a few weeks ago, my Ten' was a little lopsided (the missing indicator is buried in the sand out there somewhere I'm sure...) and prompted me to seek an alternative solution for the time being...

Rear indicators
The company that make those LED 'electropod' lights to chav up your bike with also produce a pair of flexible 12 LED strips in amber, to act as turnsignals... and guess what? - they are exactly the right length to fit in the plastic shroud on the exhausts!



The recess inside allows the strips to be secured with silicon, and the wires run up under the seat to connect with the loom using the original connectors... I also thought the arrowhead shape was ideal to emphasize the direction!


Front indicators
So, with a pair of wangers still on the front (although admittedly they have suffered countless drops really well), I though I could do something neater with the front end too...

Since there are a pair of (essentially redundant) side/running lights either side of the headlight, I bought some high-power LED amber bulbs (4 in a cluster) that fit the original bulb sockets, and wired them to the indicator lead connectors that are right next to the headlight anyway...




I then used the now redundant side-light circuit (switched with the ignition of course) to power the GPS (replaced the original 10A fuse with a 2A in the fuse box under the seat), and have a spare tail that will power the switch for the driving lamps I plan to fit in the now redundant front indicator space!




Result!

ps. I've also replaced the standard hi and low beam bulbs with 100w 'blue light' versions, giving a psudo HID type light... it's certainly much whiter and crisper...
