Different(?) LED Turn Signal Question

[John Bates]

I actually had the same result with my first (possibly hosed) 552 and a brand new one that I went out and got.  So I think the flasher's fine - just not for this application.

I'll order one of those EP37 ($20 plus s/h WOW).  This is getting to be almost as expensive as my wileyco CF exhaust.

But it's good to learn on I guess.

So - this the EP37 needs to be hard wired, is it possible to get a connector like is currently on the bike so I can make it swappable with the original?  At some point, I'll want to restore the bike to stock and will probably want to take my $90 LED Turn Signals with me

I'll let everyone know what happens when I get the new unit.

Thanks John and Starwalt.

OOOPS!  SORRY

I had the wrong URL for the Trico flasher.

OOOPS!  SORRY

I had the wrong URL for the Trico flasher. 

Hmmm ... so did I just order the wrong thing?

[John Bates]

What did you order?

[MrDan]

What did you order?

The one you originally linked   http://www.customled.com/PRODUCTS/FLASHER_RELAY/flasher_relay.htm

Then you went all tricky and change that link too hahahahaha

[John Bates]

Oh my gosh!  I thought the URL for the Trico was in my copy buffer and I didn't test it. 

The one you bought will work fine, but you will have to hard wire it or change to compatable connectors.

Sorry.

Also, make sure you get the polarity correct. 

[MrDan]

Where can I get a compatable connector?  Is that something that should be easy to find?

Edit: Just broke 300 posts ... and I think about half of them are about these Turn Signals haha

[John Bates]

Auto parts store most likely.

Radio Shack for a generic (Molex style) connector.

[MrDan]

Works for me .... riiiight after I google "Molex style connector"

You might consider an adapter cable that just plugs into the original GS TSR socket. If you find the plug for the new relay, just exit the plug with some male spade connectors to insert into the original GS TSR socket.

This way if/when you let the bike go, you can return to stock quickly. Of course any new wiring to make the new relay work would be an issue also.

John and I ought to come up with an new wiring harness that makes this easier. But then pulling the harness out of the GS isn't a simple thing -- I know.

I even retaped the entire harness on my 90 project because the original tape was all yucky, dirty, and falling off.


Yep. I'm anal that way.

I was thinking about that last night.  Everything's all twisted in there and makes it hard to get the headlight back in haha.

I was ignoring all the other wiring when I mentioned undoing it all ... rather not think of that ATM.

They work!!!!!!!!!!

Pix to follow when I return from LA/SD next weekend. 

Thanks to Starwalt and John Bates and everyone else who chimed in

It's good to hear positive results.

Good job.
