dewski Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I am finishing up my tidy tail and installing LED signals both front and rear. The fronts are already installed. At first I didn't think I minded how fast they flashed but I really think I would like to go back to the more steady stock flashing interval. I have heard it is a simple relay...but is there a more detailed write up on it somewhere with where to get part(s) and photos showing where/how to install? Thanks in advance!

oscardms Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 It's behind the left front panel, next to the regulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Guru Posted October 22, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted October 22, 2014 There is a detailed description on how to take of the panel here Once off, you will find the relais here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33459059/IMG_1178.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33459059/IMG_1179.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewski Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks Guru, That helps a ton! Now, where is the best place to get a relay that will slow the blink rate for both the front & rear LEDs ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefano225 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 If you do a search on amazon.Com for motorcycle led turn signals you find couple relays for leds. I haven't done mine yet but researched options, anyway keep us posted on results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migglesworth Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 This relay has been used by several members, myself included. It was found and recommended by user @manuel when he did his tail tidy. http://www.customled.com/products/elfr-1-electronic-led-flasher-relay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted October 23, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted October 23, 2014 I think there might be enough resistance with all four LED signals flashing to slow the rate. Although I have not yet done it I am fairly sure there is only one relay for the system. LED signals are on my to do list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Guru Posted October 23, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted October 23, 2014 Yes, there is only one relay. And like @mjh937 says, all 4 signals at once is enough to make them normal flash rate. When you replace the relais with a non stock one, you will probably not be able to use the rubber thingy. So you will have to use a tie wrap or something to secure it to the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work for the company that invented the Ty-Rap and because of that, I've become a little extra-sensitive to the brand name vs "zip ties" and you're one of the very few people I've seen actually refer to it that way. Good job! Life is good on 2 wheels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
