Hi r3sc, yes sorry had brain freeze, i have 2 sets of indicators the ones that came with the bike, these are M10 x 1.5 thread hence why nuts dont fit and initial query.
Was going to re use these as in new condition but the lenses are more like Hodna ones then Kawasaki, so then thought I'll just replace the lenses for correct Kawasaki ones, No camt do that as different diameter, so bought a good used set from ebay which are correct, but the seller didnt supply the nuts with them.
Obviously i tried the ones on the old indicators and didnt fit, so taking your advice ordered some from ebay advertised as M10 x 1.25 BZP and when i tried to fit them they didnt fit either, turns out they advertised them as 1.25 pitch but supplied standard 1.5 pitch! Free delivery, So itl cost as much to return them as keep them. Hence above post as then thought perhaps its 1.0 pitch rather then 1.25. So borrowed a pitch gauge, No you were spot on its def 1.25, its the nuts supplied as 1.25 but in fact were 1.5 hence issue.
Yes Warren i did google them thanks, found several places advertising locally Screwfix, Euro car parts, Toolstation etc, took part with me, they all say they have the 1.25 pitch but in reality their all the 1.5 pitch so dont fit.
Its going to have to be a specialist supplier.
My point was why put 1.25 pitch on indicators stems when everything else uses the standard M10 ×"1.5 pitch? Oh and the 1.25 pitch ones are 4 times the price too, yet made out of same metal, same size. Couldnt even find the ones with 14mm flats they are all 17mm probably as they are not the 1.25 pitch.
good stuff.
