    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Installed LED signal lights as the fronts were missing when I got the bike, and the rears were broken. The rears were a simple install, 2 wire connections and done. The front oem harness has 3 wires, going to ea lamp, the LED's only have 2. The power and ground are self explanatory, however, the previous owner has "modified" the wiring and the grey wire is not connected to anything.
When the key is on, all 4 lamps light and stay on. None of them will flash. The relay isn't buzzing or clicking as described in previous posts. We've tried to add the grey wire to the green and brown with no success. Fuses are good, battery fully charged.....

anyone have any suggestions?

thanks
 
"The front oem harness has 3 wires, going to ea lamp"

The stock ones had a running light and a turn signal filament in each bulb. Stock ground (from harness) ahould be black/white wire to eack side. The third wire that is likely the same color both sides is the "hot" for running lights (comes on with ignition "on" ) which you are dropping, so leave it taped up.
LED's won't flash unless you get electronic flasher to replace stock one.
 
I was wondering about the box for the led's. I asked at the bike shop today, and the guys behind the counter looked at me like I was asking for a muffler bearing.
I wired some extra led turn signals and brake lights on the back of my venture and they work fine with no other mods, I was hoping to get lucky with the gs too.
Any suggestions for an electronic flasher?
 
Any two prong flasher at the auto shack will work. You will lose your auto-cancel.

I disagree. I have not found that a two prong standard flasher will work with LED lights. There is not enough power draw to cycle the flasher unit.
 
I got it local from napa, they had them on the shelf, just use the pn on the flasher. I still have to get the signals working tho, someone mentioned ground wires?
Finally got the old girl running last night, headlamp and tailamp, took off for a ride around a county block, few minutes in most of the red lamps on the dash started lighting up, but holy-she goes like stink!
 
I just put LED signals on my bike, had the same problem they wouldn't flash. Pretty simple fix though, you can buy these resistors that will fix no flash and excessive flashing.
I found mine on eBay, $15 for a set of 2 but I sure most bike shops should have them.
