Check out the categories on the left side frame. All kinds of info to explore. I'm whipping up a pair of these LED mirror blinkers for Dan tomorrow.

These are especially suitable for riders over about 6'2" who have trouble seeing the turn signal indicators on the dash.
Idea by Ralf and Elliot, pictures by Ralf. Buy a couple LEDs at Radio Shack, part number 276-011. About $5.
Knock the plastic covers off your mirrors. To do this, stand by your handlebars, and hit the painted covers with your palm on the outer edge. They'll pop right off.
Now, remove the covers entirely from the bike - unclip the two electrical connectors, and take off the tie-wrap that holds the cover onto the bike.
Open up one of the trim holes in the mirror. You can drill it open with a 1/4" drill, or burn it open with your soldering iron. Just be sure to open it up enough that the LED slips in.

Cut the two wires to the turn signal. Solder in the LED. The LED's yellow wire goes to ground, which is always the green wire on a Honda. The LED's red wire goes to power, which is the light blue wire on the left side, and the orange wire on the right side. Wrap up the soldered joints carefully with electrical tape or heat-shrink tubing (available at Radio Shack).
Elliot put three LEDs in each mirror to make turn signal indicators. You can put in as many as you can fit. The power drain is completely negligible. Just keep connecting them up the same way.
Plug the wires back in, reattach the tie wrap, and put the mirror cover back on the bike. To do this, line up the three snap-in legs, and give the cover a solid whack with your palm pushing it into the bike.
