Any 2 prong ELECTRONIC flashed would work. And since you going led the watt rating really does not matter.Nathan

hmm... yes most 2 prong flashers will work but if you are using leds, your better off using electronic flasher units not bi-metal.1979 XS1100SF Special.78 E motor/carbs, Jardine 4-2 exhaust, XS Green coils, Corbin seat, S.S. Brake lines, Hard cases, Heated grips.

blah, blah blah...
i'm sorry i'm tired, i missed that part.
other then not having to worry about burned out turn signals, why are you putting led turn lamps in??
(stupid question for me to ask) i have them on the ninja and when it got laid down 2 months ago it smashed the turn signal housing and metal socket.
one of the other guys was walking around picking the busted pieces off the road and walks over and says you might want this...?
he handed me the led bulb, i installed a new housing and installed the old bulb and we're in business again.
yes it has a little road rash but it works fine.
lets see a glass bulb try that.1979 XS1100SF Special.78 E motor/carbs, Jardine 4-2 exhaust, XS Green coils, Corbin seat, S.S. Brake lines, Hard cases, Heated grips.

Replacing the stadard bulbs with LED bulbs will help in reducing current loading. These things are not well known for their charging ability.Originally posted by MindWebs View Post1979 XS1100SF.

You could run smaller wire for LED, but I would just use stock. LED draws VERY little so wire gauge is not a problem.Originally posted by lee_dutcher View PostNathan
