led's

[snipper]

just done a search and not found an answer so here goes(sorry if be asked before)

just fitted rear led indicators ....... and yep .... they flash tooo fast

what size resistor have you used to slow them up ?
googled it and the size seems to be 10watt 30 ohms ......

a point in the right direction please

ps i know you can get a new flasher relay but sod paying £20

I've heard of poeple just wiring a standard indicator bulb in line inside the tail unit out of sight and it gives the correct flash rate

Latter item might need a change of loom ending (but I doubt it as they are pretty much std!)

I fitted the same type of flasher unit from Motrax as LSM suggests. I'm not a huge fan of soldering bits and pieces in, although I can do it if really needed. At the end of the day the Motrax unit is just a simple plug-in and play, job done. Plus it looks neater imo

thanks chaps ....... just been to maplins and got a couple of diff resistors...... 10watt 15 ohlms ...... code h15r ....works a treat

I fitted a rear light with built-in indicators, and also a pair of dinky winkers for the rear.

Front end, I fitted a pair of flush mount ovals which go over the holes in the fairing that the original indicators poke through, job done.

Then I also fitted a pair on mirrors with indicators in as well. So two pairs of LED indicators each end, four in total.

Still flashed too fast, so I picked up a couple of resistors for a couple of pounds each from Hein Gericke. Nice little gold anodised alloy numbers, with two mounting holes in each one.

Fitted those, and flash rate is back to normal.
Dunno if this helps, hope so.
