White LEDs for Neutral and Turn Signal indicator lights - Page 2

5th_bike · 03-16-2009, 10:20 PM

Alan: the two LEDs are right next to each other underneath the right green lens. I put a little vertical wall of cardbord (will be plastic shortly) in between them, such that they light the left or right half of the turn signal indicator lens, depending on the active turn signal.

Easy: wow, I didn't know about those 'load balancers' that doesn't save any power indeed, I would replace that kind of turn signal relay/circuitry with a 555 circuit... thanks for clearing that up.

He's good for something around here at least... :redflip:

And that is an awesome idea on the turn signal indicator.

One of the many side effects of switching between Suzi and the beast, besides the feeling I should be wearing a red rubber nose and big floppy shoes, is I have backslid on the damn turn signal. I rode about a quarter mile today before I noticed I left the damn thing on and one of these times it's going to cause me some trouble. The Strat has the auto-cancel. One of you clever types ought to figure out how to add THAT to the GZ.

Yeah Alan, I do the same thing. Harley not only has self cancelling, but there is a turnsignal switch on each grip.

Also, the Kisan Signalminder will shut off the signals after a pre-set time. I'm not sure the GeeZer has ebough juice to push it, but I had one on my Intruder Chopper and It works fine in 90% of turn situations. Being timer based, sometimes it wouuld shut off too soon, but otherwise AOK.

Failing that, the LED solution presently under discussion can be modified slightly for MUCH better operation. Just attach some longer wires and mount the LED's up on the bars or shield supports where you can actually SEE them.

I still have my "buzzers" but that really isn't a good soultion.

The link works fine for me. That sucker costs $109.95. Easier to remember to turn it off by yourself.

Hell, I'll use hand signals before I pay that much to have something shut my turn signals off for me.

I also get Go Daddy ads. Must be a problem with that site.

Now I get those ads too. :??: :??:
