Last winter i bought a pair of motrax tinycators. They look great, tiny little matal indicators are just what i needed, but in my individual opinion they are RUBBISH.
The people following me claim they cannot see them, never worried me before but thought i'd mention it. Some months ago one of the lenses fell out, after contacting motrax they sent me a new one as 'it happens a lot' :rolleyes: then the bul blew on the other side, when i removed it (you have to move the base of the unit to get the bulb out) the wires broke as they were so badly sodered. My mate fixed it and they worked again until this weekend when the bulb on the other side blew. Can I be arsed to fix it NO!
It can stay that way until i find a new pair that i like the look of to replace them. :mad:
Do not buy them!

well I think the mini ones are pricier than the standard, ok still cheapish... Dave I agree completement although the anodised bullet ones are not too bad...unless you consider the fact that they leak and need siliconing!?

Sounds like your faith in them has gone.
The only course of action left now is to parcel them up and post them to me to match the ones I have on the back of my S2r.
Hmm,black you say....

i have to find some replacements firts. I did once run for 6 months or more without indicators on the rear, but i think i'll wait til i get new ones before taking the old ones off this time.
Pearsonaly I would like my indicators as large as they come daft, little small ones look cool?
BUT standard in you face ones could save your life!

It's better to be dead and cool than spend ones life looking like a tit. (IMO)

motrax are usually pretty good at their complaints.. i'm sure if you wrote them a nice letter or something they could replace them for you :)

alternatively they could make things that work and stay working?! otherwise ones replacement items will also go Peter Tong 6 months down the line....then write another letter etc...

Man this is exactly the same as the rant I wrote at the start of the summer. Both lenses popped out of my tinycators. The bloke in the shop helpfully gave me new lenses and I've used silicon on them but I'm dreading bulb replacing time. I also had to solder bloody plugs onto the cable too so that I could get them on the bike in the first place. They are indeed crap. But they do look good.
