Indicators...

[woodbutcher]

Put a set of tuono 125 indicators on mine they were a lot cheaper

[Fausto]

Ah but what if someone noticed ?

[fastasfcuk]

got mine from THG in germany for 64 euro's there the same as the mille but with a clear lense, imo they look great.

Got mine from a bloke called Aladinsane for something very reasonable.

Feeling a little guilty now ......... spose I'd better buy him a pint next time I see him.

they will melt with poor suspension

Thought I'd resurrect this one...

Fitting LEDs all round. They've come with the resistors already, which I'm assuming are done to make them equivalent to 23W and therefore work with a 23W relay. They flash a bit faster with one LED/side, and way too fast at two/side. Have only tried on one side, not fitted all four yet (only got two indies atm)

Some have said new flasher relay required, others the diode mod and flasher relay. I'm thinking of buying different resistors as per Alad's previous mention in this thread. Which is needed to get these flashing approximately correctly?

A non load sensitive electronic relay should do the trick.

The O/E indicators are only 10w, so if they are emulating 23W with the resistors then that'll increase the flash rate. I'm assuming that they have the resistors built into them.

Indicators is a job on the list, I bought some mean looking mini arrow shape ones and an LED flasher unit, hopefully it will all work !

Mine has a set of these on it and they fit in really well with the shape of the bike imho. Not a fan of the teeny-tiny look lots of Falconista go for but each to their own - that's the beauty of being able to 'customise'

Not built in, just with bullet connectors (I guess for those that are replacing LEDs with LEDs, you don't use the resistors), so easy to replace with something with the right resistance to drop the circuit to 10W instead of 23W (or whatever the numbers are)

Provided the indicators have in built resistors or you are going to parallel a resistor with the indicators, it should be fine.

If there are no resistors in parallel with the LED's you'll get a cross connection through the dash bulb and both sides will light up at the same time. The diode mod or parallel resistors will fix that.

The diode mod is my preferred solution in conjunction with an electronic relay.

I was thinking that it would be worth trying one indicator with both resistors in parallel to each other and the LED's to see if that fixed the flash rate. It's very early here, so I may not be thinking quite right yet and the voices in my head are arguing on this one.

Paralleling two identical resistors halves the resistance in a circuit (in series they double it) and since 10w is about half 23w it might work. The other nay saying voices are suggesting that adding more resistive pathways between + and - will increase power consumed and make them flash faster.

Anyway it won't kill the LED's so worth a try.

If my thinking improves or the voices reach a consensus I'll let you know.

You're going the wrong way Dale - you need to put the resistors in series to halve the power (by halving the current.

Power = Voltage x Current = Voltage squared / Resistance

Voltage is fixed, current is determined by by the load resistance.
Resistance is on the bottom of the equation - to make current (hence power) smaller, you need bigger resistance.

[Falcopops]

at least some of the voices were right then
