anyone had any experience with em? want to make sure they’re good quality and don’t leak. i can bung a bit of silicone at em if there’s problem areas but the manufacturers should really have thought of that eh?
I have had to return loads and loads of the BikeIt ones as the bulbs blow and then the customer rounds the screw off. I have tried a few times to take out the screw and every single one rounded itself!
Hopefully the Motrax ones should be made to a better standard.
nice one fellas. might have to see them in the flesh before i part with me hard earned by the sounds of things. better remember to take my little screwdrivers with me.
just been down infinity clapham for a gander at these little numbers. got the guy there to have a go getting the lenses off. as has been mentioned the screws didn’t want to budge and looks like rounding off is all that’s gonna happen. then noticed a small hex bolt on the reverse. undid that and the bulbs etc just slide out :w00t:
so if you’ve got em and need to change the bulbs, use the single hex bolt on the reverse :hehe:
they’re bigger than i thought though. and def need some silicone up inside the threads to stop water getting inside em but otherwise look well made.
I bought some Motrax mini LED indicators from Gearge white in Slough. Great service and I am happy with the result when compared to the OEM ones. I wanted the larger ones but I am glad I opted to fit the smaller ones TBH and they are just as effective as the old ones but less in your face.Only image I have of the new ones fitted at the moment.
have had bad experiences with the plastic efforts so far. mainly due to leaking even though i’m putting a load of silicone up the stem. where they sit on my number plate hanger means they got a lot of spray off my rear wheel. was hoping the aluminium ones would be more watertight but won’t really know til i get em on there. cheers tho fella
Ended up with some of these on my 636, they were very nice - well made and did the job - recently I had some led motrax tips on the back but they filled with water and died - quickly. The Bike It ones I replaced them with aren’t as pretty, but cheaper and much better built - time will tell.
The expensive option is the Motrax Flash Fires - very nice, not sure if it’s just my bike or if it’s a ‘feature’, but the wrong side also flashes slightly when indicating - you couldn’t mis-read them, but I like it cos it gives a little bit of extra visibility in the dark.
