Anyone know of an LED flasher for turn signal swaps to LED? Anyone tried this mod from the XBs? http://www.buellxb.com/forum/showthread.php?19988- NO-money-LED-flasher-mod | ||

The flasher is built into the gauge cluster. I haven't tested LED signals to confirm if anything will need to be done, but you may just need to wire in some resistors to add load to avoid a fast flash. In theory the software in the cluster could be changed to work with LEDs, but it is not something that can be done outside the factory. | ||

Thanks, I imagined a relay would be needed as signals are incandescent. | ||

I've converted all mine to led and the blink rate is the same. | ||

Oh sweet. That's what I wanted to hear! Thanks Terry | ||

@Terry, what did you go with? I'm eyeing up some signals by Lightech and Rumble Concepts, but need to be sure they are bright enough. | ||

If the flasher's built into the display, odds are it's a solid state flasher, which would explain why it isn't affected by changing to LED signals. | ||

That would also explain why I cannot find the relay. I'm glad this bike has "arrived" and works with LED turn signals out of the box. It's a little surprising they aren't offered from the factory. | ||

Just some cheapies off of ebay. I cut a piece of rubber to fill the gap on the front.   | ||
| Twirlin |
Those look an awful lot like Lightech brand. Are they knockoffs? | ||
| Terrys1980 |
Yes I only paid like $8 for a set of 4. | ||
| Twirlin |
@Terry, are you happy with the LED brightness? | ||
| Terrys1980 |
Yes, but these have a smoke lens so they could be brighter. | ||

Here are mine. Bike master Prism 2 in black.  | ||

Those are nice and well made. |
