ok so i just test fit my new undertail on my 01 929 before i paint it an i went ahead an tested the new lights(LED) with the turnsignals integrated in them well i have hooked them up 2 different ways one way they barely blink like you cant even notice it, the other way they blink wildly, too fast an too hard an take alot of power from my bike... now my question is do i need a relay on the turn signals i bought it from ebay now the seller wont return my emails and i didnt get a relay with it do i just go to auto zone or advance auto an buy a couple from there or do i need a special one for the turnsignals ? please help

 

The fast blink is whats expected when you install leds,and thats the correct wiring.Either you can deal with it as is(as I do and a bunch of others do)or get an led flasher relay.I believe you can get one at cyclegear.Unless your oem relay is integrated on the dash as my 954 has.

 

well it takes alot of power from my bike an the wires have too much power goin thru them thats my main concern i could deal with the flashin im worried it would catch fire or mess up my electrical system. but thanks ill look into that site

 

Too much power,leds actually use less power to lite.How is your wiring getting HOT?

 

a simple solution is to put resistors inline with the leds, basically what you are doing is making the flasher think that the load is that of the OEM bulbs.
I search will probably give you the proper resistor values you need.

That is the fastest and simplest way to do it..

"An 8 ohm 25 watt resistor connected IN PARALLEL to each LED should do the trick..."

thats what i was thinkin (letsride) but the wire got real warm in my hand for some reason but they blink real wild like you could almost hear the power goin into it

Thanks alot johnnycrash ill check that out too

i appreciate the help ill let u kno how its coming along, kinda hard too get out there too work on it without the help right now im crippled up at the moment i went down doin a stand up wheelie on my pitbike, almost lost my leg but my hopes are high an ill be in deals gap by may so i plan

 

Sucks about the crash, keep postin, take some pics if ya can.
Cheers

 

yea it does thanks, deff. gna keep postin, i ordered resistors they will be here soon an my undertaill is being painted right now tryin too get it ready for a car an bike show in march here in my hometown if i can get it all back together by then

 

well guys i finally got it wired up an its workin just the way i wanted too the resistors came today that was quick an now its alot betr no problems now too get it painted an put back together i should have it all done an put back together just in time for the show i would like for my new exhaust too come in by then too ill post more pics when its done

 

Excellent.. Take some pics!
