    LED Lights and the need for a flasher unit

    OK, so here we go again with another LED lights, and flasher type question...

    I was thinking of changing my lights on the bike and go with some led type lights, and reading about all the issues with them not working, blinking too fast, too slow, not at all, and so on.....

    and then I came upon this, and thought would it be the solution to our problems in trying to use LED's....

    double click on the left page it will zoom in, then look at the bottom right of the page, and the 2 items I am thinking about

    Moto LED IC Relay for DC and the Moto LED Resistor Wire

    to be combined with

    Moto LED 602 LED Flashers, or I guess any lights one wants to get...

    I used an EL12 flasher relay on my GS5 with LEDs.Some report that the EL12 won't work in some situations.

      Does your bike have auto-cancel signals?

      If you use an aftermarket flasher, you will lose that feature.

      If you use the resistor wires, you will be able to keep your self-cancelling feature, but will not use any less current when the flasher are in use.

      If your goal is to lessen the load on the charging system, the resistor wires are NOT the way to go.

      If your goal is simply to add some distinctive lights, either way will work.

        I do not have auto cancell

        was just looking at some led light, I really don't like the big lights the bike has as stock, so I wanted something a bit different

        but the more I look at all the bikes out there not a lot of folks are changing the original lights

        so I am good to go....using the above I found, or stay stock

        Thanks
