Any good turnsignal mod? Mounting points?

[keand3]

That is the big thing......95% of those aftermarket signals are not DOT approved for the USA. Any Kellermann signals you like? They are TUV approved.

Yes, Kellermann have a lot of nice ones. just unsure how those would look like on the bike. I would prefer some more flush with the fairing.
Damn, hard to decide  

Some indicators would also need to have added a resistor to work proparly i think, and i would like to have it most hazel free as possible.

Kellermann BL2000 LED are nice looking to, and i would conider them, but anyone tried to fit them on the FJ? Wiring issues etc?
Hmm..??. Then it would need to be matching back indicators as well... Thats a project for later i guess...

This turnsignal mod got me thinking on intergrated turnsignals in the mirrors.
Have seen this cbr 600 mirrors, and i guess they will fit for the cbr mod??

Anyone who know where to get some propper resistors to make my led turnsignals work?
The seller suggested a 10ohm 10v resistor of some sort..

eBay

Well, yes.. That's the obvious place to search. But thanks for the tip 
I do how ever, see that i have not formulated my question very good so I'll try again...

Is there any preferred brand or special type off resistors that's recommended for LED turnsignals? (mounting compability etc..)
eBay is full of them and it's so many different types to choose from (and yes I did search eBay before asking here) 

Cheers

Ken, it is nothing special for the LED. The resistor creates a controlled short from Hot to Ground (right at the light or near it is convenient) just enough for the FJ to detect that the filament in the bulb is still intact. Without the resistor the FJ thinks the filament is broken and flashes quickly to alert you that one or more bulbs require replacement. If you like the faster flash rate then you don't need to bother with resistors, the LEDs will work and flash as required. I have some resistors I got at Radio Shack and had my friend in the R&D lab conduct a continuous load test with the LED lights I want to install. The test was stopped after 12 hours with no unusual heat or failures. Considering that for the turn signals they are not on all the time, and when they are it is intermittent. Don't spend a lot for heavy duty resistors. If you don't have an answer by Monday then I can see what size my resistors are and post up.

6 ohm 50 watt should do the trick.

These are the resistors That I used to slow down the flashing when I installed the RPM LED tail light with integrated turn signals. They are 11 ohms

Excellent! This was just the type of info i was looking for. Thanks guys

Just found a LED flasher relay for my bike. But replaceing  OEM flaher relay would affect all four indicators on the bike, right? Would need all four to be LED?
It would  be a cleaner mod with replaceing the flasher relay instead of adding new wires and resistors and splicing them in on the circut.

A "LED flasher relay" should work fine no matter if your turn lamps are LED or incandescent or mixed.

The "standard" flasher has a bi-metalic element inside that heats up and bends to break the circuit (flash). This depends on a specific range of current passing though.

A "LED flasher relay" uses a timer circuit to control the relay which makes and breaks the circuit.  Current draw is un-important to flash rate.

[keand3]

Ok Thanks.
But from looking at the turn flasher on the bike and the wirediagram,  there is no relay that i can replace it with. Corret? I would have to add the relay to the system, or the flasher circut?
Kinda a noob when it comes to this sort of stuff

I did some more searching and i found this:
http://m.ebay.com/itm/271333433271?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1

Its a LED flasher relay replacement for the OEM flasher. But its stated to fit fj 91 to 93..
Will it be worth fitting my old 86? From the partnumbers it looks like the  wont..

[Arnie]

Is your current flasher a 3 pin device?
The unit you found on Ebay looks to be a 3 pin device. 

I have never looked at the connector on my '91, but I will today and get back to you.
You might have to cobble up some kind of adaptor plug, but it should work.

[keand3]

Im going from memory now, but i recal the OEM flasher is either 6 or 8 pin? The wire harness  attaches to it through connector block. Can't recall how many pins. Will take a look after work today.

By the looks of it might seem like some of the other wired attached to the flasher is just "passing" through?
Cause its just the turnsignals them self that needs this relay?
