      Could you please post some pics? Some of us like Jawed, Ankit and I have got it but haven't been able to figure out how to fit it yet.

        The hex screws came with the package was very flimsy, it broke while fixing so I had some screws from KTM which was used in the bottom part. All four screw position was not alligned, so one is missing in the top part. But it's still very strong with three screws.

          Thank you very much! I was confused thinking the U clamp goes at the bottom. Now clear! [emoji106]
          I have gone for blue ones but they don't match with the bike's color. Since it's anodized aluminium, need to see how to get it repainted. If epoxy primer doesn't hold, then will have to get a powder base coat then spray paint.

          BTW, I noticed you've swapped out the blinkers too. Looks like LEDs. A pic would be nice!
          I'm using my 2nd set of LED blinkers too with an aftermarket flasher relay to control the blinking rate.

              Is it worthwhile to look at 2018 Ninja 300 due to price revision ?

                If you're ok with the higher maintenance costs and limited service network then yes it does make a good option.

                    I am using Bajaj/KTM Led which comes with their RC, Dukes and even RS200. They are of good quality. I used some cheap led but it was very bad. I'm not using any relay. It seems to blink correctly. Using this for a long time now.

                      Cool! What did you do for the mounting points? Any adapter or spacers used?
                      I went with Yamaha stock mounting type 1st time and they were double the size of original. Used to be crazy bright but later on they sagged and almost fell off.
                      I've gone for KTM like design blinkers (also used on R1) in Yamaha mount style now. Not too bright but does the job.
                      Front I have flush mounts from eBay India on both my bikes.

                        Is there any cons to the stock indicators that you guys have chosen to replace them?

                          Generally, LEDs are brighter than bulbs hence the conversion. [emoji4]

                            I used some big washers to cover up the space. I'll try to take pics later.

                                i find the led's 'crisp' (in flashing.. you know like a 0 and 1) and bright. the ktm/bajaj ones are very good quality & expensive too at around Rs.550 a piece iirc. i hook up my bungee cords to the indicator stems on my d200(when tying down a tail bag) and they have held up well. they don't sag like some of the ones you see on hero bikes (new karizma was notrious for this) or even the r15 v2 on which i've seen the rear indicators droop spoiling the look.
