Hey everyone!
So I've been working on my build slowly over the past couple months, and it's coming along well. When I bought the bike it didn't have any blinkers, only a head light. I've added new blinkers and a new headlight, which are all LED's. Now my only question is, what flasher relay can I use? It runs off of a 12 volt battery. The old bike used a 10 amp breaker on the signals circuit, bit I know that LED's draw a lot less power than that. So I don't really have to worry about how many amps the new relay can handle, right?
Also, the lights in the gauge that indicate if the blinkers are on are the original light bulbs from the 70's, so will those flash at a weird rate if I get one that works with the LED's? I don't really care if the instrument lights work at all to be honest, as long as the blinkers on the front and back work.
If anyone could help me out with all of this I'd really appreciate it! I'm 18 and just getting into all of it, and I'm pretty good with everything but my skills in electrics need some work.
Thanks!
