Title: In the mean time, I have been working on the parking lights.
Post by: xwarp on March 02, 2010, 02:21:41 PM
I have been really multitasking on this bike.

Yesterday, I picked up some new parking lights. They are made by Lockhart Phillips and seem be difficult to find locally with the exception of one bike shop that had just 2 sets. So I got them. For the price, these are really well made. Since they were regular bulb types, I modified them to use an amber l.e.d.

I built the circuit boards and voila! l.e.d. turns now!

These are what the signals look like:

I stated in a previous thread that I was going to update the turn signal relay and this is what I am using:

With this module, I can eliminate the turn signal relay and simply use the factory wiring while maintaining the use of the turn signal switch on the bars as normal.

Well, that's about it. Will post pics soon.
