The yamaha original Led Flashers and Positional light are heavily overpriced .
though you do get replacement if they conk out too soon .

If you can make them yourself then it wil come out very cheap .i've also converted my RTR positional lamps led with only 15 rs investment unlike the yamaha ones that cost 500rs [not sure on price] and are working fine for over a month
