If you want to go for something that does not look out of place you could go for the Electra setup.

If you don’t want to drill the bars then I’d recommend a discrete LED setup, that’s what I intend to fit to my Navigator when I get around to it! 

Ive seen some indicators that are headlight fixing. Remove the headlight fixings and pass the the threaded ends of the indicators through the forks and into the headlight, you can then tighten the indicator and headlight. The rear indicators can then be fixed to the rear panel.

Has anyone fixed these to a Duluxe.

Fitted indicators to a 99 DL and a late Atlas. Normal tungsten on 99 and LED on the Atlas with multifunction bar switch.  Both systems work ok. the led bulbs are  probably more reliable,but the positive earth made   things a bit more confusing  to wire up. (I am easily confused by electrics.).

John Dunn asked 'do I have to drill the bars?' Thinking along Electra lines which had bar end winkers. But not drilled to my knowledge. I very much doubt you will find the original bar end winkers. But I do have a set that fitted the ends of a 'badge' bar. It turns out they screw into a threaded 'mount' in the end of the bar but there will be a small hole in the bar to pass the wires into the Handlebar. Then of course you can't fit a bar end mirror, nor can you chuck the bike by its handle bars against a wall! I didn't fit such indicators!

I like the idea of indicators that can be fixed either side of the headlight. The fixings can then be passed through the headlight fixing holes and wiring taken into the headlight, the back indicators passed through the Deluxe fairing. The indicator fixing would have to be strong enough to support the headlight.

Some suppliers do chrome and black plastic.The plastic body could be painted same color as the headlight

In my box of bits I laughingly call my Electra I have 2 original bar-end lamps, one was missing a lens. I tracked down this outfit, who do a complete kit that looks very similar to me.

I ordered a lens only, it could fit in a jiffy bag, they despatched  it in a ginourmous box...???

Not happy with the idea of flimsy indicator stalks replacing my sturdy HL bolts I have drilled the shell close to the rim  . I used to worry about orriginality ,but most things change in the real world.

These Regs give the minimum spacings for indicators front and rear for vehicles used on or after 1st April 1986.  Not applicable to most of our old nails (Sorry!  Cherished Classics!) but it's worth considering because if they are too close together they aren't much use as direction indicators to the aforementioned "Boy Racers".  It might be a good idea to heed the minimum spacings of 300mm front and 240mm rear. 

You can find these Regs here: - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1796/schedule/7/made

Since John has 12V he could consider these:

Highly non-period, of course …

As the name suggests this supplier is mostly car-focussed, although of course there is a lot of dual-use stuff on offer. It's worth sending for their A4 format catalogue, which has excellent illustrations, useful for sorting out obscure queries about hydraulic fittings, for example.

The web-site also has fascinating blogs about a Norvin Comet, and a Berkeley T60.
