Replacing turn signals with seperate led mirrors on an 1981 gs850l

[Guest]

Hi, I want to install some mirrors with built in led singnals. It comes with wiring to wire into the existing turn signal wiring. I did a lot of searching and didnt find the answers i was looking for. What all do I need to make this work? I did purchase some 12v led resistors to wire in between the mirrors and original wiring. Would this solid state box that i am reading about have any benefit for this? thanks for the help.

I have a set of turn signal mirrors on my truck. They are wired in to my existing turn signal wiring using a wire taps. I would leave your existing turn signals on the bike and wire the mirrors into the existing wiring. I don't have a wiring diagram for your bike but more than likely the wires you need to
tap into are in the headlight bucket.

Those mirrors are likely set up to connect directly to the 12-volt system on the bike, no resistors necessary.

Yeah, keep your stock signals. The signals in a the mirrors are likely not DOT approved. If your state has vehicle inspections and those are your only signals, the bike won't pass.
