Gents (and ladies)
I'm a total newbie to both bikes and british bikes. But I have purchased a beutiful A10 from my step father in law and am going through the process of doing my direct access now.
I've got a huge amount to learn very quickly. But I did a similar thing with classic cars about ten years ago and, with a lot of help from friends and forums, I'm now reasonably competent with basic 1970s car mechanics. I've just got to get used to how they did things in the 1950s, on bikes, now!
So, to get to the point: While I'm well aware that this may offend people I'm going to put indicators on this bike. It's 6v, positive earth.
My question is: is there a kit that's tried and tested or do you have to broadly make something yourself? I have searched the forums and the most recent discussion I found was in 2010, where there was mention that the solution someone had adopted wasn't brilliantly effective in the sun. Not ideal.
I live in the UK so 'lots of sun' is hardly a problem, but I want the most effective indicators money can buy. Are there any recommendations / tips people can give me?
(I suppsoe a secondary question is: would it make life easier to convert to 12v and how tricky / expensive is that to do? My preference will be to leave everything as standard as possible, and only make easily reversable modifications where there are clear safety reasons to do so).
Cheers
Sam
