LED Flasher / Blinker "Issue"

[codyharteben]

It doesn't really get "wired in." It just replaces your stock flasher module. Only wiring I needed to do was run a jumper wire for the ground output on the new flasher.

awesome thanks!

Resistors aren't the perfect way to drive a led. A resistor is only correct for a specific value of voltage. (Which most of the time is not constant, even if it is regulated).
What you really need is a constant current led driver (very small ic) (for example, a Supertex CL2N3-G, TO-92(N3)), these are very cheap, and will work with an input from 7 to +30 volts,and give a constant 20 milli-Amps current). A LED needs constant current to work optimal with a optimal life-span.

If your bike uses individual terminals for the flasher relay, odds are it'll work just fine with no mods. The individual terminals make wiring a snap. You MAY need to run a ground wire from the relay to the frame, as I did with mine on my CB, but it was a 30 second job. Pretty damn close to plug-n-play.

To the OP, glad it worked out for you. I saw a few reviews of "electronic" flashers that people have complained about not working with full LED systems. I think everyone needs to throw a Tridon in there, lol. It'd solve 99.9% of the blinker issues that I've seen.

Bought the Tridon 3 terminal unit works great with the LED's, thanks.

Glad it worked out for you. When I went to LEDs on my 750, I searched for weeks to find one that would work with out the bandaid solution of resistors. That EP34 works perfectly and you can find it at autozone for like $8. I seriously think it should be listed somewhere in the great guide o' parts that solve problems like this, lol.

I am finally to wiring my bike although i am not getting any power to the leds, so it seems. Does anyone know if all for need to be wired up to make a circuit for one/all to work?
