I've used buzzers in the past, as have some of my riding buddies. These also serve as useful audible warnings to pedestrians when you are in city centres - but can be a nuisance when you arrive home late at night, so possibly thinking of switched buzzers may help.
Dash type Indicator light repeater will also help - but you may not always see them in strong sunlight - not that there's much of that about at the moment.

Martin (Smart) has some progressive audible (get louder the longer they're on) LED light/buzzers on his bike, He did say where he'd got them from but I can't remember for the life of me where? if he's not on in the next few days? I'll give him a bell and ask him.

thanks guys from riding position i cant see indicators bars cover them.can see back of them great so was thinkin to look at housing to see if feasable to cut bit off and put a clear plastic gromet type thing on . would enough light light shine back ,or even drill a hole and mount a light in there facing back to me.might be over thinking this would like to keep the lines of the bike clean .will have to do something not smart riding with them on .only gives didnt see you brigade another get out when they pull out on us.

Hi Ardie,

I like your idea about trying to get a 'repeater' signal to the rear of your indicator units. However a hole/clear grommet will not work  because when looked at from the front there is a silver/chrome reflector plate behind the indicator bulb - so the rear of the indicator is not really illuminated.
With a bit of ingenuity though, it may be possible to fit a form of repeater.
A fibre optic type system should work and similar ideas are used on cars fitted with repeater indicators in the wing mirrors - they often incorporate a small part of the repeater lens on the inner rim of the mirror shell, so that the driver actually sees it when they check the side mirrors.
Failing that a suitable LED could possibly be wired in.
At there end of the day, we can all forget to cancel indicators - so I often pay more attention on this when I'm riding bikes, & often 'double-check' they are off when I'm on a straight where my 'rider workload' is less that at junctions etc. I.e. make it part of your riding routine to make extra checks that indicators are off.
The audible buzzers do seem to be the most 'fool-proof' option if you do feel you have a worrying problem in forgetting to switch them off. After riding with them for awhile you will probably get into the habit of switching them off.
I've used them in the past - but none of my current bikes have them fitted.

Cheers

I used 2 small led tell tale lights wired in sequence with each indicator & made some small brackets to mount them to the bolts on my screen & they work a treat & cost very little.

Hi Ardie - don't know if you got this sorted yet, but I'd been having exactly the same problem - years of riding bikes with the speedo on the bars.  Fitted a buzzer - fine up to about 25 mph (less now with the chopped pipes) then couldn't hear a thing - especially with earplugs in.

Had to pop into Halfords today & came across this in the sale bucket at £3.00 a piece

indicator warning <a href=indicator warning DSC08687_zpsajbd11jy" />

Insanely bright for the size 

 

It's small enough to be located on the left hand side switch wiring - I'll heat shrink the wires together first.  I'll then splice it into the indicator wiring behind the headlight.  I bought two, but reckon I'll only use one as I only need a reminder that they're on, not which side.

When I got to the till, the price had dropped to a quid each - even if it don't work, it ain't cost that much

Hi Ardie 

I found that the "relaxed" (read "slouched") riding position gave me lower back pain also - when I'd fitted these Flat Drag Bars, it disappeared completely
