this led turn signal thing didn't pan out. the flasher I bought won't work with the drifter 800 turn signal controller.
I may still be able to get it to work, but lost intrest. hell, I cant remember the last time I've ever had to replace a turn lamp bulb anyway.
I did have my tank shifter handle wrapped in black leather with red lacing though.
I'm on the fence whether I like it or not.

I did that switch also this past summer and it was a simple swap. I looked at the LED signal lights also but then not being an electrician, and the talk of needing to wire in four resistors, I decided to go the easy route, I have a spare set of front signal lights, (three wire) and so am in the process of wiring them in and just need to find the correct power wire and tap into that one.

I changed out the tail lamp to led a long time ago, which is very simple, of course.
Instead of load resisitors, I decided I'll just wire in one of those new-fangled 2-pin led flasher relays.
I got out my manual and it looks like I'll have to splice into the orange wire coming off the flasher box.
anybody else do this yet?
