Default LED indicators

Ive been given a pair of rear LED indicators for my CBR 900 RRX, could anyone tell me what size resistors i need to fit in order for them to work ?

Also can you keep your answers simple like me as electrics are not my strong point thanks.

The easiest thing would be to replace the stock flasher with an electronic flasher relay, designed to work with LEDs. You can get one from Superbright LEDS for around $9.

I have one on my 1000RR because the rear signals are LED. It works great. I have the LF1-S-FLAT and the plug was a perfect fit with my OEM connector. They also sell a Universal Motorcycle Electronic Flasher for the same price. It doesn't have a connector on the end and you would have to wire it somehow.

I recommend getting the one with the plug, since they are the same price anyway. If it doesn't fit you could just cut the plug off and splice the OEM connector onto it.

Wow just had a look to see what type of fitting the flasher relay is and its not there. According to the manual the relays are under the left hand side front fairing panel but nothings there will have to look into this further any ideas ?

The electronic flasher that I mentioned will work with up to 4 LED signals or a combination of LEDs and standard signals. The one I'm using on my bike has standard signals on the front and LEDs on the rear. The electronic flasher relay handles everything and they all flash at the normal rate.

Your flasher relay is there somewhere, just keep looking.
