Here are some steps for installing LED indicators on a motorcycle:
Remove the old indicators
Note the plugs or connectors used to join the indicators into the circuit
Bolt on the new indicators with the M8 Nylock nut and washer
Tighten the indicators to 15Nm
Connect the red wire to the +ve marking and the black wire to the ground wire
Join the connectors with a soldering iron and cover with heat shrink or tape
Crimp the wire using standard bullet connectors
Double back the wire before crimping the connectors
Test the cable connection
Here are some tips for installing LED indicators on a motorcycle:
Use two small sections of flat bar cut and drill out the 8mm hole required to mount your LED blinkers
Choose your placement along the under side of the rear frame rail and weld them in place
If you are using a rear mounted license plate just check that the LED blinkers are visible from the rear before finalising your mount position
Attach the positive lead to the positive terminal on the battery
Make sure the switch to the system is turned off, then attach the negative lead to the negative terminal
Test to see if you've done everything correctly by flipping the switch
To increase the visibility of your brake lights and tail lights, you can place one strip on each side. For more of an "underglow" effect, you can mount LED strips on the lower fairing, the bottom of the gas tank or the general underbody area.
To avoid hyper flash, you should install load resistors (also known as equalizers) with LED turn signal bulbs. Hyper flash is when the turn signal light flashes rapidly.
