Dunno. This update from the fundraiser page last week: UPDATE: David is still in ICU but stable. Lungs seem good and they operated on both wrists. Shoulders next. No spinal damage evident so far. Brain concussion likely the cause of no recall about the accident. He is conscious and responding well.

No, he's not that old

I was shocked to read that David's in ICU after a bike accident. Really nice guy, hope he gets through this OK - does anyone have an update? From a Backabuddy campaign started for him (not by me): https://www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/david-harris-5448296438226267314

Cool thanks @Jughead, I'll take it for R350 + pudo/pargo/paxi cost, if you're happy to ship it. Will send DM

No worries, thanks for the trouble

Thanks @ClimbingTurtle - I've already bought a set of 4 GS LEDs, but I'm experimenting with 3D printing the stalks to see how long they will hold up. I'm missing one complete indicator for the rear, but seeing as you're in GT, I will hold out in case someone has one with a broken stalk locally...

I'm experimenting with an indicator stalk repair, but I'm one short. If you have one of these lying around, broken stalk or not, please let me know?

Working on another plan... quick test print to see if it fits. Might just be able to use the old indicators (that's the broken rubber one in the background) Shorter than the OEM and obviously not flexible, but if it breaks, I'll just print more. Fits the housing perfectly, but front ones need...

Thanks for the suggestions. Seems BMW is using some proprietary Hirschmann Automotive OEM connector that you can't buy elsewhere (apart from China). Part number from BMW is 83 30 0 413 582 but $40 a pop (and I need 4 as all four of the stock indicators on the XChallenge disintegrated on our last...

Found them on Aliexpress, but don't want to pay R1400 shipping! Anyone know where I can get the circled part locally?

I bought some Chinese BMW indicators to fit to my XChallenge (will add resistors). I'd like to replace the connectors on the bike, but I'm not sure if the plugs that came with the indicators are stock BMW. Anyone know where I can find the other half of these plugs? (Pref Cape Town)

Went through this with the GoXtreme Rebel a few years ago. The quality was terrible compared to the video you get on a cheap phone, and battery life bad. Kids used it 3 or 4 times and now just gathering dust in the cupboard

Me too, but so far so good. Survived a short Karoo trip so far. Carrying a large supply of zip ties in the meantime :)

Short clip

Printed with a 0.8mm nozzle in PETG... let's see if it will last! Indicators are temporary, will probably replace with kellermann atto
