Adam,
welcome mate and if ya want a set I got some iridium ones here in Mornington. Lemmee know...ya can have em at wot I paid $30 for da pair
I was gonna fit em into the body of my 9 but as I have a pillion most of the time they might have been hard to see so I went for the micro arrows instead

Hey bud,
Check out Holden commodore side blinkers, the oval ones fit sweet(I think VT) and shouldnt cost much more than $25.
I work in a custom shop and have offered them up to my 9, but have thought twice about the old, style over safety thing.
I've fitted carbon look arrow mini's, front and rear and they look sweet, and still give a clear signal.
Good luck mate.

well since putting the bike into a ditch iun tassie on bike week.. i think i will make a custom duck tail so that the blinker in the scoop will be more visable. its either that or putting them in the rear of the ducktail...thinking of a custom brake light assembly as well! the bike will be a naked for a while...should be back on the road this weekend...hopefully!!!!!
