New tank installed and wires tucked under it, foot brake master cylinder filled and bled, NOW of all times there is a problem with the signals, my 2000 bike does not have LED lights, BUT I did put on new signal lights LED and they do not flash because of LED, used jumpers on old lights and they flash. HELP! What do I have to do to get them to flash???

Led lights use low voltage. You will need a load equalizer to make them work.

Will this work with each signal light??? -[h=1]SYLVANIA - Load Equalizer 27 Watt (at 12.8V) - Turn Signal Load Equalizer for LED Light Bulbs, Corrects Hyper Flash & Bulb Out Warning.[/h]

That should work You should need 1 for each circuit IE 1 for front and rear turn signals and 1 for running lights, same for brake lights

WHY FOR THE BRAKE AND RUNNING LIGHTS??

I BELIEVE ITS ONLY TO PUT ENOUGH RESISTANCE IN TO MAKE THE BLINKER WORK

Thank you, I stand corrected Should we change amps for watts?

 

[stacebg]

Thank you, I stand corrected Should we change amps for watts?

not sure but i dont think so

watts is v x amps

 

[vwbug72501]

FYI: Power (Watts) = I (current)(Amps) X V (voltage) (Volts).

Damn I love to hear this engine running,:clapping:BUTTTTT! Need to finish the brakes before a ride can happen so I need to tighten the front brakes through cable adjustment and if not I'll need to get into the shoe drum adjusters and tighten, but the rear brake master cylinder bracket will flex (1/8 wall) when I push on the foot brake so I made some side braces for the bracket (3/16) welding soon, then back to the wiring for the lights...

 

[TomyJ]

Bracket - MasterCylinder

-3/16 side braces, OverKill, need to make metal clamp for the return spring, then bleed, check brake light switch, ROAD TEST!!! :clapping:

 

[TomyJ]

Spring Return

M/C return spring works, bleed the brakes many times but just not quite there??? But it does work...
