750 SF1 Indicators (if any?)

CEV ex-factory.  Often up to the importers/distributors to fulfill local legal requirements, so other makes could well have been fitted by them.

Only found Aprilia stuff fitted to Guzzis, Ducatis and Benellis.  CEV or Bosch for Breganze as far as I'm aware.

Many thanks Piet.

Will put the Aprilias on the 1976 900SS and then the CEV can go on the SF. Perfect!

Don't know about elsewhere but SF1s (mine) in Oz had Lucas indicators ... CEVs appeared on SF2s. I still have one or two of my orig Lucas numbers.
 
Like these ones?

Aesthetically perhaps. But to minimise my chances of getting flattened by an idiot car driver, I like to give them some clue of what I'm about to do. Even then I don't assume they've ... 
a) seen me
b) seen the indicator
c) worked out what the indicator means
d) figured out what their appropriate action should be

One of the circumstances when I feel vulnerable without an indicator is when turning right onto a side road in Australia (or left in countries that drive on the wrong (right) side of the road) across the oncoming traffic lane. The indicator should persuade the dickhead behind you that it's not a good time to embark on an overtaking manoeuvre.
 
Cam. very few car drivers use them in Qld ............... if they don't know where the indicator stick is in their car, how would they know what a flashing light on the side of a motorbike is for?
I get your point though.  I just hate those blinking sticky outy things. (puke)  And have a few yellow un-roadworthy stickers plastered on headlights over the years to prove it.

 
If you don't like those blinking sticky outy things, maybe you could fit some of these semaphore style turn signals. If there's no room on the bike, build them into your helmet  :D

I'm with you. I cycle lots, and would never do a righty from the middle o' the road unless I know there's nothing coming up behind. On the moto I always make sure the brake light is shining bright to complement the indicator flashing - anything to wake the morons up.
 
One of the most frightening things that have ever happened to me was about 20 years ago in the Northern Territory. I was driving to work very early in the morning, down the Stuart Highway, still dark, we would turn right onto a side track into the site to save going the long way round.
I indicated to turn right and seconds before I started to turn a motorcycle overtook us at high speed. If I'd started to turn a few seconds sooner none of the three of us would be alive today. My passenger and I pulled over and it took ages before we stopped shaking. I can only think that because there was no visible intersection that the rider thought we were indicating (as some drivers do) that the road ahead was clear and it was OK to overtake.
