Need help finding a cheaper indicator for MOT

Long story short I came off my bike earlier this year and snapped my indicator stalk, I haven’t been able to find a reasonably priced indicator since due to the bike being a 2023 model. (Cheapest I can find is £68+ shipping)
Now the time has come where I need to replace it due to the bike needing a MOT next month
The OEM part number is: 33400k0ne01
I have been tempted to just rewire some aftermarket indicators but I’m unsure or how to measure it to make sure they fit well as they don’t bolt in.
If anyone coincidentally has a spare OEM indicator lying around I’d love to buy it off of you.
The bike is a Honda cb125f 2023
Thanks guys

Hey guys/girls.

I recently picked up a 2016 Honda cbr500r that hasn’t been on the road since 2021. I’ve done all the needed TLC to it and now it’s time for the oil change. A friend of mine recommended I put some cheap oil in the bike after giving it a service e.g new oil/air filter and spark plugs. Run that oil for a few hundred miles and then drop that oil. And put some fresh premium oil in it. Apparently this is supposed to clean any gunk that may be in the engine due to the bike being sat for a while unused.

Do you guys think this is worth it, i don’t know much about engine internals and I was looking for some other opinions.

(My main concern is this just seems like a pointless extra step as I don’t know the benefits I just taking my word for it.)
