    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...

    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.

Is there anyone with some electrical knowledge of the GS's that would like to help me design an LED conversion kit for the turn signals? I've got a little LED wiring experience, but the wiring was directly to a 9 volt battery.

If someone can help me with some specifics like the voltage and amperage going to the various bulbs, I can make a turn signal LED kit. If I can make one for myself, I'd be happy to make some for other members.

My goal is to replace all bulbs but the headlight with LEDs, so if I can get the turn signals working, I'll tackle the gauges. And if I get everything else LED-ized, I want to see if I can find an HID kit for a 1980 GS1000G, though I don't have particularly high hopes there - it's worth a shot.

Anyone with me?
 
i put a 27 LED bulb in place of my tail light/brake bulb, haven't decided yet but i think it may be a little too dim. i've been thinkin about fitting as many LED's as i can on a round circuit board and fitting it inside the turn signal housing. that resistor calculator will help a lot.

this might help....

For best results the LED color should be the same as the lens color. As an example: a red lens will filter out all but the red portion of the light so if the light is all red, none or very little light will be blocked by the lens. The light from a White LED contains very little light in the red portion of the visible spectrum so most of the light would be filtered out by a red lens.
