are the indicator brackets despensable?
10/27/12 at 10:55:53

One of my indicators is broken and needs to be changed. The chrome indicator housing/bracket was a bit of a pain to get off and so what I'm wondering is do I actually need to put it back on? ie. can I just attach my new indicators to the mudguard directly? the new indicators don't fit in the large holes provided by the original housing/bracket anyway. What's more it's crazy heavy.
but
I want to be safe carrying a passenger - are the chunky indicator brackets there for structural support or are they just part of the look? (not my favourite bit of the savage anyway so was thinking about ditching them - let the customizing begin!)

Reply #6 - 10/29/12 at 17:48:37 had a rethink and does anyone know if the older savage indicator brackets fit on later s40 bikes? I would like to put a backrest on mine and the newer brackets don't seem to allow for that. anyone help me out here before I pull the trigger on a pair?
