2008 xb12 scg Replaced the existing filament turn signal bulbs with led bulbs. Tired of replacing broken bulbs due to vibration. Anyone know what 2 pin flasher relay will work? I have tried 3 different brands. I have yet to find one that will allow the bulbs to flash. Trying hard not to have to wire in resistors. Thanks Jamie |

If they are not flashing at all, you don't have enough of a load. The LED flashers are supposed to get you around that, but it seems like whatever signals you got are a really light load. You may need to add resistors after all. |

Hey Mod did not work. Thanks for that info though. Heard about that trick from local HD guy. I got it.....just kept trying relays....50$ later and I found one. I will attach picture of led bulbs and relay. Persistence baby. Like you said....load so low. Thanks |

Grote 44893 - plug and play 3 pin relay replacement for LED for Buell XB. I use it in my 2009 Buell XB 12 Scg. You need 3 pin relay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid= p2380057.m570.l1312.R1.TR11.TRC2.A0.H0.XG.TRS1&_nk w=Grote+44893&_sacat=0 (Message edited by TPEHAK on April 19, 2019) |

I found a flasher designed for LED's - (it has an adjustment for load) on Ebay. It's an inexpensive flasher from China.... it'll take a while to show up, but for a buck-and-a half, what the heck. I put one on a project bike on which I was replacing incandescent turn signals with LED turn signals, and it worked well. I just saw this post that people were looking for a flasher for LED's, so I looked it up on Ebay again. A flasher that looks just like the one I bought (and you can see the adjustment screw on the base) has the following Ebay listing title: 1x 2-Pin Motorcycle Speed Adjustable LED Turn Signal Indicator Flasher Relay 12V I would give the Ebay item number, but that is only good for a month or so, but if they keep selling them on Ebay, maybe the title will remain the same. All the best, and I hope this helps! Jim |
