LED Blinkers

[Dakota]

I just got done doing the front LED's on my Tenere (rear will need to wait for the Camel Tail Tidy).

 

I could not be happier with how they turned out. I cut the stock blinkers and spliced in the plug onto the new LED's so that I can just plug them into the stock harness, which i'm sure most, if not all of you, will do. 

 

Some tips I learned below. (USA bike, not sure if the rest of the world is different).

 

Left Stock Blinker wire colors

• Blue wire - Running lights
• Black wire - Ground
• Brown wire - Blinker

Right Stock Blinker wire colors

• Blue wire - Running lights
• Black wire - Ground
• Green wire - Blinker

 

I bought these spacers on amazon - and to get them to work I had to cut out little notches on the spacers that go on the back side of the fender, so plan on doing that if you're going to do LED's as well. 

 

You'll also need a new LED Relay so the link at the correct rate. Currently i've got LED's up front and stock in the rear, and with the aftermarket flasher relay, they all blink at the appropriate speed.

Did you need a resistor to slow the flash down?

Yep. I found it through numerous posts here.

I used bullet to oem connectors and left oem harness intact. Posted about it here:

I was lazy and just bought the complete Cyclops kit. Had the blinkers, leads, spacers, and flasher unit in one box. I used a dremel to grind out the tabs in the front panels. Only issue I had was the bullet connectors for the rear blinkers were hard to route without having them stretched. I haven't installed a tail tidy, so it most likely won't be an issue if you use one.

They look great! I’d like to see how the rear looks when you get it done too.

How did you connect the running light blue wire ?
