LED turn signals

[DRxBMW]

Drake,
Do you have LED turn signals installed in any of your K's yet ?

I have a guy who has an interest in rewiring his.

Any tips or tricks if so ?

I did manage to source some plug & play flashers this AM. The deluxe model below is even programmable. Ideally, I would like to whip a kit, as this brickhead resides in NYC rather than ride to my house for a install.

One issue that needs to be addressed is that K bike turn signals use momentary switches while most other turn signals (other bikes, cars, etc...) use non-momentary switches so that's what most flasher relays are designed for.  I addressed that by using latching relays in the circuit that I put together,

Thanks for all the suggestions, a plug & play kit is now worked up and in the mail for my motobricker buddy in NYC.

Last winter, I did your front reflector LED project on his whip. I must admit it does have a different look now.

My next mod, at least on the GS is, LED turn signal/running light mirrors. Have you ever entertained the idea of working up a sequential turn signal flash rate ?
