I am working on this scooter and I am installing led signals but obviously the stock flasher wont flash them. I dont want to just put a resistor in there as that makes the led pointless. Anyone know of a good circuit? I wouldnt mind getting the soldering iron out and just building one as I have a radio shack gift card and i could build it today as opposed to wait for bike bandit | ||

A lot of the time you can just replace the stock flasher with a no-load solid state flasher and then they will work. the Bi-metal strip that was once use to heat up and open and close the contacts is replaced with a small circuit board that will blink no matter what current load is attached. | ||

hmm that sounds like a good idea....any leads on where to find one? | ||

You can rework the stock flasher to ignore the "burnt out bulb" sense. http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/Do-It-Yourse lf-Buell-Mods/NO-money-LED-flasher-mod | ||

What Natexlh1000 said. I have done it on 2 bikes and it works awesome. | ||

70's Ford school buses and trucks had a motor driven flasher that just opened and closed contacts. It's a bit bigger that a regular flasher..but plugs right in the standard fuse boxes at that time.I've had one "plug and play" in my Pinto wagon since the 80's. Has a neat sound to it as the motor drives the mechanism.......  |
