They came today!!! Ok so I'm going to go install them now I'll post pictures when I'm done. =) Now I just need a nice undertail!

Ok I'm stuck already. How do you take off the stock turn signals? I don't want to just start unscrewing things and then not be able to put them back. lol Do I have to take the front fairing off? I have an 06 F4i.

Ok I did a search and I guess I do have to take off the front fairing and some intake thing. Man I'm gonna mess up my bike I can tell already. People were also saying stuff about resistors and crap I hope I dont need any because I don't know jack crap about electronics I work at a damn credit union! lol

And disregard this post I'm posting in the general tech. Hopefully making a write up too.

 

Just go slow. Everything in the front comes apart in a logical manner.

As far as resistors, you don't need them. You will get a fast blink with LEDs and no resistors, but it's no big deal. I have had mine fast blink for a year now.

If it really bugs you, the best way to fix it is to replace the stock flasher with a no-load flasher relay. This eliminates the heat issue from the resistors.

 

You should also connect them with diodes.

For the resistors, I bought a 5-pack of 330ohm and 470ohm 1/2 watt resistors from radio shack. Connected 2 330's and 2 470's in parallel for each side; totals around 100 ohm, sinks <2W. I also used 1A diodes instead of 3A since I'm only drawing ~100mA. I think it still flashes fast, however I don't know how fast they flash without any load. $2 for the R's, $3 for the diodes = $5 total.

I think to get a slower flash you need 4-8ohms whichs draws a ton of power (20-40W) and gets hot, so you could check out the relay solution albeit it may be more expensive.
