LED Indicators |

Has anyone fitted indicators, let alone LED indicators? When I |
|
originally restored my NF, I decide to fit indicators, which |
|
worked quite well. However, after a while the fuse in the |
|
headlight started to blow (quite often). No doubt, somewhere |
|
there is likely to be a fault causing this, quite possibly the |
|
handlebar switch, as everything else is solid. |
|
So I took the plunge and decoded to fit LED indicators, the idea |
|
being to reduce the current load. If you fit LED bulbs, you |
|
also need a compatible LED indicator relay. Fitting is no |
|
problem as the LED bulbs were compatible with the original |
|
bulbs, and the relays just swap over. If you need an indicator |
|
wiring diagram, look at Paul Goff's website |
|

|
However, the indicator repeater light (still a standard |
|
incandescent bulb) in the headlight would not work, and the new |
|
indicators flashed quite rapidly. This needed sorting. Paul |
|
shows a "tweaker" on part of his website, as the new system |
|
doesn't produce enough current to light the repeater bulb. What |
|
is needed is the "tweaker". |

|
The wiring diagram is a bit basic, as it doesn't show the |
|
indicator relay. The tweaker is a section of wire with diodes |
|
to stop the current back feeding which could make the indicators |
|
flash on both sides at once. But with patience and some extra |
|
wires and connections, it does now work very well indeed. |

That sounds good Rob. I�ve often thought about fitting |
|
indicators, but never got around to it. I�d want something |
|
discreet, and on my bike, the obvious thing would be to fit them |
|
to the steel panniers, but I don�t want to drill them. No doubt |
|
I�ll be dead and buried before I make a decision�. ??? |
