Oo
What year are those/model number?
Also I know you state the orange indicator has faded but is it still possible to tell which gear you are in?

year? hmmm, i think, and don't quote me on this, between 1998-2000 but not entirely sure. they were fitted to my RC200 but have just changed it to a 9 speed
yeah, you can still clearly see the indicator, its just white instead of orange

One last question sorry, what's the model number? Just wanting to make sure it's all compatible

Just had a quick look and they are Shimano Deore SL-MC18 Rapid Fire Shifters. I was using them with a Deore XT M739 front & rear mech set up with 8 speed cassette
They do work, that what I have on my bike right now. For the chain to go up onto my largest ring (mega range) it takes two clicks. So it cancels out the extra click and it works pretty well. I reckon for a standard cassette you just set your limits screws so that the last shift cannot push the chain off.
