While a) that's a good question, b) they're the standard indicators that go on all Honda bikes and have done for a while now. I have them on my 600 Hornet at the moment and although there are better and smaller ones available, they're not as big or ugly as the older ones and I chose to keep them on mine because they don't look bad and I need visible indicators as I ride every day in all weather. The big problem comes from the fact that they require two holes for the mount: one for the cable to go through, and another for the mounting thread. This stops the indicators spinning round if they come loose, but it also means that replacing them tends to leave a spare hole :thumbdown
