Default LED question...

Hey guys, I just put on some home made flush mounts and wired them so all 4 corners are lit, (all LEDs) unless the blinker is on. Will this have any negative effect on the bike or LEDs ? (Rear blinkers are LP mini`s and front are two large amber LED`s per side)

As long your signal lights are working as you described then I don't see any harm in it. If I understand correctly you are describing your lights working like the OEM running lights.

Post a picture. LED last a lot longer than incandescent light bulb (the stock ones) so you don't have to worry about them being on all the time, if that's what you were asking. Plus LED's are better for bikes because they use a lot less voltage/amperage.

Good deal, I had a little tunnel vision when I hooked up the front and didn`t think about how it would effect the rear signals, but now I kinda like them on.

heres a pic......

Thank you ! I needed that.

All I`ve heard all day was complaints about how noisy my dremmel tool is, and "you spent all that time in the garage, for that ?".[&o]

Make who ever said that realize that you could always be out wasting hundreds of dollars a month away from home chasing a little white ball around some ones else’s huge pretty back yard.

Oh yea, nice lights.
