Yes it feels good especially because I wanted to sort this LED stuff out before completing the bike. I now can sort out the aesthetics, install some new parts I got, and get new tires etc. Gettin' there...

Hello everyone ! I have a final update and it's fantastic news ! Thanks to all the help from you guys here I was able to complete the task and got the lights working :) I am beyond the moon ! it worked ! I made a quick vid to show folks : This is fantastic thank you all very much once...

Thank you Teazer and thank you Benroloff. Those are both great explanations but I must admit that Benroloff's explanation made sense in my mind's eye. Sorry for the lack of update, I am also trying to bring back to life a 1985 RX7 FB and recently pulled the intake/carb on that and now am doing...

Thank you kindly Teazer you are really great for taking the time to explain. Okay I will mull this over and attempt to do it as you described and come back with results for you folks. I have a long weekend so I hope to have time to do it. I really, really appreciate your assistance. I will also...

Please forgive me, I am an extremely visual learner bordering on disability so I need to try and visualize this via the wiring diagram. Is this a correct interpretation of what you're saying I should do : Describing the image above : I keep the black wire coming from the blue indicator bulb...

Okay I am embarrassed to say that the original wiring diagram with the explanation of how I wired in the diode was incorrect I had my wires mixed up (but according to the video it shouldn't matter). This is the correct wiring diagram and how it was done, the only difference is that I wired the...

I will get pictures tonight. The LED strip is causing confusion, it is not installed I am using the OEM lights right now. I only connected the LED strip as a test because I wondered if the rear brake light bulb was the cause. I wondered if maybe the LED strip had some diode in it or would...

Hmmm I don't think the previous owner messed up the wires, it all looks very OEM. This bike I have completely rebuilt down to the frame so I am familiar with the placement of the wires and the diagram but don't fully understand the concepts behind how it all works on a higher level. I have one...

Hi everyone, So I can confirm that if I remove the dash bulb and try using the turning signals I get the exact same result; the rear stop light flashes and the right turning signals stay off. I forgot to disconnect the left side and see if right side works instead so apologies for that but I did...

Hello folks thanks for the replies that is much appreciated. I used a pre-made diode kit that is meant for this and followed the exact instructions from this video : I know 100% I did not splice into the rear light wiring. The rear light has 3 wires, one for the brake light switch (green...

Hello everyone, Hopefully people with good electrical knowledge can help out. I have a 1982 Honda CB125s and it came with a 6V system. I am trying to complete a 12v conversion but ran into an issue with the turning signals. The bike has a 12v front light, 12v battery, 12v rectifier regulator...

Okay I think I have the final piece of info I need now. So we can disregard the videos I posted above re: sound. Most of those bikes are out of spec too. I contacted someone I knew had a lot of experience with CB125s as he has been selling 125cc bikes in the UK for over 30 years and has...

Hmmm I think you missed my latest reply but yeah it had no effect. I'm now wondering if I'm crazy and the sound is normal or w/e idk. I went looking on youtube for 1981/82 CB125S idle sounds and some sound very thumpy with a lower speed idle of like 1000-1100 and this one at 1300 or so idle...

Okay so I am at a loss. I took off the covers on the alternator side and inspected it and took some photos to show you what I can see. It appears I have the same cam chain tensioner as in the video from my first post. I did my best to get the light in there: https://imgur.com/a/GwolWrk So I...

Just to make sure I don't newb out and screw it all up. I assume by crank bolt you mean this bolt here right ? (Not my engine just a pic from the internet) https://imgur.com/a/N7ZZFvr
