Why not just let it blink at the faster rate? its much less trouble that way.

seriously right? plus if it blinks at a faster rate it's more susceptible to people's eyes that they can see you. plus putting it back to normal takes up too much work.

Yep, mine blinks fast too and after I thought about it I like it better that way. Maybe, just maybe, it will catch the eye of someone lost in conversation on their cellphone.

Yes I meant each corner of the bike. 4 resistors.

still, you only need two resistors. the resistors go on the led taill light and not the front signals.

well, if you want to do the resistor thing...here's a how-to

but in response to ale....those resistors do heat up quite a bit as the tutorial states.....i know i read one tutorial where he said it melted his fairing a little on the inside.

the ceramic resistor do get extremely hot only if they are drawing a grand amount of current(which they are designed for).however, this would be a total surrpise to me that the tail light would be providing such a load. its possible that it can melt the fender but the fairing, dang.

I kinda dont get why they would they get so hot when the turn signals are not used that often and when they are utilized they only work for a short period.

Edit::: I just look at the cbrworlds.com posting again. The guy used 8ohm resistors....END OF STORY. ....
This will call for much more current to be passed through the resistor; hence, it will get hot... With the 100ohm resistors that I recommend the fairings and the bike will be fine...
