Default well I finally found it ..............

Bike Was Stolen from my garage in Campbellsport , Wisconsin

I'm finally going to make my ride legal for night ridin' .....( no turn signals )
Finally found the NO LOAD module for everything I want ( usin' all LED componets ) found it at kneedraggers.com
http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/...P--613758.html
lights and dual elements for single filiment LED lights at radiantz.com
Front turn signals will also be runnin' lights too
http://www.radiantz.com/cart/six_shooter-frontback.jpg
Rear signal won't be the same as what this shows........the whole thing will be brake and runnin' light and when I use turn signal then that will take priority over brake or runnin'

Not really you only need 22 gauge wire a pair of sissors (to cut into peices) and a soldering iron and dual elements for the leds to be like dual filiment bulbs. I use silver solder and flux.

nice... I might have to try my hand at some LED work. I'm wanting to make some LED lights for my '47 CZ 125 so they'll be brighter on the very low voltage

Default Update ....

Well waiting on parts still..... So I haven't finished the lighting project but did get the new Dakota Digital Speedo mounted and had to remove and remount Arlen Ness oil gauge http://www.dakotadigital.com/cartimages/prd_sm_260.jpg mounted both in new Wimmer Machine rocker box bracket http://www.wimmermachine.com/_images/dualgauges.jpg
Had to fab up bracket and drill holes in the inner primary plate for speedo sensor wires and drill, tap, and mount so it senses off of the primary belt gear/pully (rear one) and couldn't run it off the hubs. Their billet. Tranny doesn't have hole for sensor. So be it, thats all done. Putting all the wires in chrome braided loom and I'm going to cover loom with clear shrink tubing. Pulled the gas tank and started redoing alot of the wiring......(pain in the azzzzz well as you all know) lol wheres my parts argh....

Default having problems............

well tried to hook up flasher relay and run,turn, brake module.....and fasher rate is wrong ............. this was with a flasher relay that claims you don't need load equalizers to use it with led's...........Did not work.
Just ordered this one hope it works as they claim. http://www.bikerhiway.com/universal-...lay-p-294.html

If anyone knows where to get a flasher relay that is for led's with out load equalizers please let me know.

if there isn't one out there I'm going to design one. hmmm just found something pretty intresting http://forums.linear1.org/index.php/topic,325.0.html

Default New Update

well it turns out that I don't need a flasher when using Signal Dynamics Lighting Control Module Penta-Star XP. So I wire nutted everything up to test it before I get down to soldering it all up. The braided loom and clear shrink tube I ordered from http://cableorganizer.com/ looks pretty hot after installing. These are the products I am using in all different sizes: http://cableorganizer.com/chrome-sleeving/
http://cableorganizer.com/heat-shrink/heat-shrink3.htm
So now almost all of the wirng that you can see looks like clear coated cable. Redoing most of the wiring on the whole bike. Today I'm going to redo the head light and horn..........getting rid of that ugly black plastic crap. Bike should be done today except for the front turn signals. And Tuesday afternoon I'm going to go fishing and turkey hunting again and won't be back till next week.
