Some did come with indicators, at least on this side of the Atlantic, I have
pictures.
They were made by, I believe, CEV & Aprillia. CEV flashers look very similar
to Lucas units as fitted on old Brit bikes, but with proper metric threads.
Aprillia units are a little more sleek looking.
They are fitted on special brackets (not that special actually, they look
like they were knocked up by the local blacksmith) and still available from
Guzzi (part no's on request).
I also think they were operated by an additional CEV switch on the RIGHT
bar. Very awkward. I changed mine over to the switch on the left side. A lot
of work, but worth it.

| Kerry, Welcome to the board. I too had these questions and got some info from Moe @ cyclegarden.com and also from a book. These bikes never came with mirrors or directionals. Dealerships installed them, so you will find all sorts of directionals and mirrors used. I found that many parts used on Harleys were installed on these machines, i.e., the windscreen is a National Cycle brand (mine had a Harley label on it), and my rear directionals were also Harley. I just ordered and received a pair of chrome high stem clip on mirrors from Harley also. They found all of the items I have needed in their V-Twin book, so stop by your local Harley dealer if you need these items, or call Moe at Cycle Garden, he has a few sets of NOS rear directionals, non-Harley type. Everybody I talked to about the mirrors said to go to a local m/c shop and get them, so I went to Harley and got my set, they were the same as used on a 65 Harley. Lots of other shops can help out too, i.e., Mark @ MG Classics, MG Cycles, Moto Int'l, and Harpers are folks I have dealt with. Good Luck and welcome aboard!
