i just put l.e.d blinkers on a 07 xb9sx now when you turn the blinker on it just makes the blinker relay buz and the turn signal just stays lit solid, no flashing.
i tried a l.e.d flasher relay that i had but it would not work. not sure what the problem is . i see the stock relay says ABS on it. i did not think that they had ABS? anyway let me know what you think.

thanks shawn

Not enough current draw on an led light to cause the reed switch of the relay to operate. There are lots of "splice" kits available. Also Flasher relays are not universal (despite what the package says) - there are many different styles. Try American Sport Bike or any net search.

get the relay from AL at American Sport Bike and be done with it.
Its a cleaner install, no ugly splicing or hot resistors....

Plus its a good excuse to pick up any of those little odds and ends he has...you know to save on shipping :-)
