    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Anyone else have trouble with LP turnsignals?

I put on the black housing/ clear lens short stalks on my bike a while ago now but I've had a few burnt out bulbs that cost $$$ and was wondering who else has them and what they did if anything to prevent the bulbs from burning out constantly. I don't think the housing's isolation is the problem, but that the sockets and bulbs sort of hang in the housing. I do like the way they look but I never even lost a bulb on the stock signals :roll: Thanks, Ed
 
I had the exact same problem with my rear signals that i put on awhile back. Seems that the problem was the wiring. Apparently someone who owned the bike before me had changed the wiring so that the rears were dual filament(always on like parking lights for a car). This seemed to overload the system and blow the bulbs. I ended up removing that section of wiring thinking that would do the trick. About a week later there went another bulb. I tested all the wiring and found that there was a short in the connectors and decided to completely rewire the rear harness. Havent had a problem since.
 
Are you running 1157 bulbs? or something similar? Seems my LP flush mounts eat bulbs, so I replaced the 1157 with 1034's (which are a rough duty bulb for vibration). Cost was $3.39 for 2 at the local NAPA.

The thing is that they take special LP bulbs, not like the stock which took 1157. I wish they took those because I could find amber 1157's at the auto parts store. sucks :cry:
 
I recall something about the LP bulbs being 6 volts instead of 12.
