Hey guys, what kind of resistors do I need in order to run LED turn signals front in back so that they'll actually flash? I don't mind a fast flash - but they don't flash at all now, they're just solid. I can't remember what thread it was in, but we had a discussion on it. And I'm not skilled enough with a multimeter...

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

I went thru this before with LED flashers. Tried resistors - it made them flash, but they were so dim. They were 6ohm resistors.

You best bet is really just an electronic flasher relay. LED Flasher Relay Turn Signal Rate Control Blinkrelais Fit Most Motorcycle | eBay

 

You don't need any resistors.

Buy an $8.95 electronic flasher relay from Superbright LEDS and replace your stock flasher relay. The Superbright LEDS relay can handle any combination of LED and standard turn signals, up to 4. The turn signals will all flash at the normal rate.

I've been running one on my 08 1000RR for several years and it works great.

 

Yea just go for the no-load flashers, if you really want I can figure out what type you need; but really go for the flasher, its quick easy and looks clean /factory.

 

Thanks fellas. Great idea.
