None are hassle free as you'll need to cut off the OE plug and crimp new connectors.

Not exactly true, I fitted ones like these in my CBR. It's bben a shile since I've seen NC30 indicators, but I'm guessing they are still bullet connectors,

He's talking about a central electronic relay to replace the OE one
Those in the link are just resistors and badly designed ones too - no heatsinks!

Those are for reference, bine were twice that price each. Specifiaclly designed for Fireblade indicators as the aren't bullet connectors as standard. I've only LED's on the back and standards on the front so no need to replace the relay, but as you say, for 4 indicators, just snip the loom, ass spade connectors and fit one of the LED flasher relays.

I'd still fit the relay, they work with both filament and LED bulbs, even a mixed system.

Just buy one LED electronic flasher relay for about a tenner from Halfrauds.
