  • Electronic flasher revisited

    Is there an after market flasher that maintains auto cancel feature? Will be changing to all led's from Superbright. Read through a lot of threads but none that I found list the actual model that they used for their conversion.
    BAMN!

        In addition to the mod, which works with both normal bulbs and LED bulbs (but for LED bulbs you need a flasher compatible with the LED bulbs), I'll be putting together a module that will be able to be installed without cutting any wires and will work with any two prong flasher. But there isn't an aftermarket flasher other than one that ELDR a mostly inactive member of the forum has created, that works ONLY with LED bulbs. I don't know that price of them, but I understand the price is reasonable, you might leave him an email about his plug in unit, although I've heard about his but never seen him advertise his which is why I'm working on one.

        Mine will I believe cost more, but will be able to handle both LED and standard bulbs being relay based rather than solid state like his.

              If you want to retain the auto-cancel function, that and ELDR's (if actually available) unit are your only resort. There is no aftermarket flasher that will plug-in and work as OEM; the Yamaha flasher works completely different from other flashers, and anything you can buy that will flash the lights doesn't have the input for the auto-cancel...
