Premium Member fz07fanboy Posted May 5, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 5, 2015 I just ordered the amber LEDs. I'll purchase the resistors locally and commence with the installation. I'll use the panels installed now and order some new ones from the dealer. Thank you for doing this. It seems pretty straight forward and doesn't seem to be difficult to accomplish. It looks very clean and very visible in the day and night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member wickedtwister Posted May 5, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted May 5, 2015 @verdecken I don't have any problems making these for people not sure what you're willing to pay. I'd say to copy what I have today it's about 20-25 in parts and 3 hours of labor. What would you guys pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator sorkyah Posted May 6, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted May 6, 2015 as it turns out, front signals do not cut power to running lights as the signal is flashing. also on a slightly related/unrelated note. the fuse marked signal doesn't actually control the turn signals. it controls running/tail lights, brake light, display back-light and license plate light. turn signals are under the park fuse.

photomoto Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 If amber LEDs were used and it was relatively plug-n-play, I would definitely pay ~$80 for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verdecken Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 If amber LEDs were used and it was relatively plug-n-play, I would definitely pay ~$80 for them! I second this idea. Amber LEDs with the connectors already applied, and I can easily justify the $80. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fz07fanboy Posted May 17, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 17, 2015 Followed the steps and create my own Amber signals. There are some steps that could be added to make things easier so mistakes aren't made like I did. Learned a few things the hard way but ended up learning a lot. I appreciate the effort made to create the HOW TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryv Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I wonder would silicon be a good option for waterproofing them, rather than hot glue? This looks like a fun DIY project. Did you use one resistor per 3 led's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member fz07fanboy Posted May 17, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 17, 2015 I use one resistor for each row of LEDs on the negative side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryv Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Thanks you guys ... I got no electrical smarts but can usually follow directions ... you guys rock and kudos to Twisted for such a cool economical idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerryv Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Oh yes I know .. just looks like fun and if I spend a few dollars for this and that .. someone may not notice as much .. lol @jerryv I also sell them if you do not already have the tools to make them it would probably be cheaper to get them from me. Of course the diy aspect of projects is also fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member wickedtwister Posted May 20, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted May 20, 2015 DIY for the win Also, howre those prototypes coming along @wickedtwister I just finished up the Amber and Red combo panel. This is for you @kwaipuak I did screw up and use wrong drill bit on one row of led's but thats why its a prototype panel. I'm about to build my sequential circuit and hope it works haha.

Global Moderator sorkyah Posted May 20, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2015 @wickedtwister damn those look good, Im curious about the clearance of the LEDs after install. Ive noticed that seat support bracket gets really close. have you test fit these panels yet? ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member wickedtwister Posted May 20, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted May 20, 2015 No but i did have to remove a rubber bumper from my seat support bracket to fit my very first set of panels. These seem to have a little more clearance. These double light panels to have a lot of wiring in them however, so I will test fit them on my bike. I guess ill pull it apart and do a how to install these things while im at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeisan Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Just so you know, I said I would order one but seeing the changes/progress you are making developing new ideas, I'd like to wait a bit to see where things go. I still have every intention of buying one, I'm not flaking on you! Life is good on 2 wheels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have every intention of buying one, I'm not flaking on you! Yeah, kind of felling the same way. If you end up with a plug and play brake + blinker solution, I'd be set. I don't care too much for sequential blinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
