    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Turn signals

not the modern OE ones but the cheapo ricer car ones and turnsignal mirrors do.

ive seen a few monte's and kia/hyundai with burned out tails.

They don't burn out...well in a couple decades they will.....but....

The wiring breaks or is the fault nearly 99% on the time in the cheapy "ricer" ones.

I like those signals. I'm going to get a set with the black trip for my '82.
 
under proper conditions leds will last very long and wont burn out

the problem is people want them brighter
so they put in a resistor with less resistance, or dont even put a resistor in (most of the time this will cause them to blow right away)
this DOES make them brighter but it significantly shortens its lifespan

example being : Life Rating : 100,000 Hours
Max Continuous Forward Current : 30mA

30mA is what the 100,000 hours of use is rated with
if you decrease the resistance you will get a brighter led but at less of a lifespan
 
I have a black set of these on my 79 GS550. Well, on the front anyway. Still working on getting the rest of the bike together. I am actually worried that the won;t be Bright Enough. And I only paid like 15 Bucks for mine on the Bay.
 
I actually had to rtim the rubber donw about a half inch to get them to go into the factory Blinker Mounts... Thought I'd throw that out there. Any, My battery had not been charged in a few weeks and they were a bit dim. I'm hoping that with a fully charged and runing bike, they will be brighter.
Here is the Front view with the Factory Blinkers.
