So how does everyone fit motorbike front indicators? Am I missing something? I have 21w bulb in the rear and 5w in side repeater and 10w in the bike front indicators?

I got around it by changing to indicators that take 21w bulbs.

bit of a note you can get higher wattage bulbs than standerd for the size of the bulb in lots of motorbike stuff
i can remember having to get what looked like a std bulb end cap with a cylender shape glass and was 20w not 10w

ended up costing me x5 the cost of a normal ind bulb and was only to be found at the bike shop

also there was always cheap indicators at bike shows with the low watt bulbs in that ended up costing you more once you got the right bulbs to get them to flash right
