Subject: Triumph / BMW indicators? Thu Jan 11, 2024 1:19 pm
Does anyone know if some of the Triumph indicators (tiger, street triple, explorer...) are a direct fit for the GRiSO? The mounting bracket looks to be the same. Also wondering about BMW S1000 indicators too.
Just wondered if anyone has any experience or thoughts on this?

I'm thinking would it be possible to mount this type, with the bolt going in from the back?

They're genuine Triumph aftermarket, for the modern bikes like Thruxton 1200, Street Twin, Scrambler 1200, Bonneville T120 etc. There's a 64mm version and a smaller 40mm version too, with 3 different length stalks available. Quite expensive if bought new though!

These are really not "aftermarket." They are Triumph OEM parts that are offered in current Triumph parts catalogs as replacements for current models or as accessories for updating. My new Triumph Scrambler 1200 has these from the factory and I am upgrading my stock rear units to "multi function" units sold by Triumph that look identical and provide added functions of brake and running lights for the rear.
Be aware, if you like these, that they are not "mini" lights. My guess is that they are close to 2" diameter, larger than the stock-issue GRiSO lights. Also, the front lights have longer stalks than the rear (as per USDOT) so you may want to go with short stalk rear pieces both for front AND back if fitting to a GRiSO. The Triumph round lights shown in the previous post are top-quality, though.
Alternatively, the "arrow head" signals that have been used on many European bikes (Triumph, BMW and others) for many years can also be adapted easily to the GRiSO. A friend of mine did this to his GRiSO.

The BMW led signal lights on the latest version of their bikes should also work but they are long and skinny and, to me, don't seem right on the GRiSO. List price from BMW dealers is over $90 each. Of course, lots of cheap (price and quality) offerings are out there for your consideration. For now, I'm sticking with the sorta cheesy stock plastic Guzzi lights on my GRiSO but when the right things come along, I'll probably convert.
I finally bit the bullet and decided to try some triumph LED indicators, but the newer ones for the 400cc bikes they recently released. They have a short to mid length stem and a 40mm diameter housing. The mounting wasn't quite a direct fit, I had to make each bolt hole into a slight slot and then use a M4 bolt instead of the original, but with a black washer underneath the head it's not noticeable. The wiring connectors are not direct plug and play. I opted to leave the GRiSO's original wiring in place and just disconnect and re-use the spade connectors from the bulb housing of the original indicators. Much less hassle that way. I'm pleased with the result! I think they suit the bike quite well. They're slightly smaller than original, but they flash much brighter. Oh, and I didn't need any resistors either, which was a bonus! Each indicator is rated just under 3W.

They fit the GRiSO´s organic lines quite well. I opted for very slim brushed aluminum running light LED-indicators and therefor drilled out the stock Guzzi adapters to fit the universal indicators. At 1,5W each they also did not require relays and the adaptation is not noticeable.
