Has anyone installed LED indicators to there R1200R, I have attempted to do this myself and it is not too difficult get tem working, the problem is you end up with much more cable and where do you hide it espicially at the front of the bike ? :?

Did you use the retrofit kit? I understand you need to order the special wires or harness. I have no idea about the install because I never received mine after I ordered from Chicago BMW.

Ok all fitted now, it is a little tricky, I thought I could just unplug the original indicators and plug in the LED indicators. The original indicators connect to the bike harness at the bulb holder behind the lens and the LED indicators have a tail with new plug and you get a plug to connect to the bike harness, this leaves you with 18" of extra wirring to hide. I would post a picture bu I do not have an 'attach image button'

I think you have to post the image at a third party site like flickr and use the image link to post it. It keeps bandwidth consumption down.
