jon haney Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I know that I will need to wire in a resistor to keep the blinking rate down to a reasonable speed. How many ohms and how many watts/amps should the resistors be? It's okay if the blink rate is a little faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all LEDS and fixed the problem by installing something like this, clickey it looks exactly the same. simple easy no fuss just replace the stock flasher relay.

Not worth the headache if you are doing more than one bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon haney Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Okay, "In for a penny, in for a pound" I guess. Either one of you guys know if the connector is the same as a Suzuki SV650? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you asking if the Suzuki SV650 turn signal connectors are teh same as the Honda Blackbird? My bet would be, "No". Different generation SV650 have different connectors, in-line resistors for LED turn signal rate correction should just be crimped in-line. I do like the relay replacement method: clickey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon haney Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 I asked the question cause I'm doing both bikes, so I will need two flashers. I'll check out the one from Clear Alternatives also. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
